A Luxurious Safari Retreat in the Heart of the Wild — Discover the perfect blend of luxury and adventure at Khulu Bush Camp, an intimate safari lodge set on the boundary of Hwange National Park. Surrounded by vast, unspoiled wilderness, this exclusive retreat offers a deeply immersive safari experience, capturing the timeless beauty of Africa.
Named in honor of Cedric Wilde, a director of the Amalinda Safari Collection, the camp reflects his passion for the African bush. Affectionately known as “Khulu”—meaning grandfather in the local community—Cedric often joins guests around the campfire, sharing enthralling stories and strumming classic country tunes, adding a personal touch to this extraordinary escape.
Unfortunately no children under 16 years allowed.
Set within a 15,000-acre private concession bordering Hwange National Park, Khulu Bush Camp delivers an exclusive safari experience with a strong focus on privacy and personal attention. With limited guest numbers, the camp ensures an intimate connection with nature, making it a truly unique destination for wildlife enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike.
Khulu Bush Camp is the smaller, more secluded sister property to Ivory Lodge, offering an unmatched sense of remoteness in the heart of the African wilderness. Overlooking an ancient riverbed (vlei), the lodge provides a front-row seat to the famous Presidential Elephant Herd and the diverse array of wildlife and birdlife that thrives in the concession.
Designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment, Khulu Bush Camp combines modern luxury with traditional African hospitality.
