Somalisa Camp sits beside a natural waterhole in Hwange National Park, a African Bush Camps property whose position gives guests near-constant elephant activity within view of the mess tent and pool area.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Spacious canvas tents raised on wooden decks, each with an en-suite bathroom and private veranda overlooking the waterhole.
Food & Service
Zimbabwean and international dishes served with waterhole views, often paused for elephant sightings mid-meal.
Activities
Game drives across Hwange’s varied terrain, walking safaris, and extended waterhole watching directly from camp.
Wildlife & Photography
Hwange holds one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, with herds converging on the park’s waterholes in overwhelming numbers during the dry season.
A Photographer's Note
The camp’s waterhole position means golden-hour elephant photography is possible without a vehicle, right from the dining deck.
Conservation & Impact
African Bush Camps’ foundation supports Hwange’s community and anti-poaching programmes, including water-pump maintenance critical to the park’s artificial waterhole system.
