Somalisa Camp
Tented luxury in Hwange
An intimate experience with breathtaking views
Somalisa Camp is located within a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park. Nestled on an acacia island on the edge of an ancient seasonal flood plain, the camp is the perfect place from which to witness the huge elephant herds for which this area is famous.
The camp consists of seven luxury tents with gauze sliding doors and plush furnishings. There is a glass wood burning stove for chilly evenings and floor fans for hot summer days. There is a freestanding copper bath tub in each tent, as well as indoor and outdoor showers and a flush toilet.
The main camp decking area is home to a lounge and dining area and a small splash pool that overlooks a natural watering home, known as elephant pool. The camp is powered by solar and has a sewage purifying system which means it can recyle 80% of its water.
The impact of your stay:
- As a guest, you contribute to large-scale conservation projects and impactful community empowerment initiatives, such as the acclaimed Female Guides Programme.
- A portion of the revenue from each room night funds the ABC Foundation, which focuses on education, community empowerment and conservation in collaboration with local communities and staff.
- Somalisa also supports local communities by aiding 300 learners at Mangwara Primary School and promoting the Vukani Group, a collective of women crafting beautiful, handcrafted jewelry from recycled magazines.
