Somalisa Camp is set in a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe on an ancient seasonal flood plain. In the middle of the bushveld and far from the crowds – where the golden plains stretch its expansive arms into the horizon – there is an abundance of bird species and wildlife right on the doorstep of the safari tents radiating timeless elegance.
Hwange is known as “the land of the giants” for its large elephant herds. Somalisa, set on a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park, is famous for its intimate encounters with elephants that love to drink from the pool in front of the camp. Tucked away under the dappled shade of an acacia grove along the edge of an ancient seasonal floodplain, Somalisa provides guests with breathtaking views of Hwange's golden savannah plains.
Somalisa features seven elegant luxury sail tents and offers a place of simple luxury, focusing on guest experiences to ensure a safari adventure that exceeds expectations. This intimate bush camp is perfect for relaxing with friends and loved ones. Each tent is equipped with modern features such as a fan, a battery charging station, a wood-burning fireplace, and a private viewing deck. The bathroom, inspired by the romance of yesteryear, includes an indoor and outdoor bathroom, a copper slipper-style bathtub, and endless views of the vast plains beyond.
With a complete solar power farm and a water purification system that allows the camp to recycle 80% of the water used, Somalisa Camp is leading the way in eco-friendly safari accommodation. It has been awarded the first GOLD Green Tourism Certification in Zimbabwe.

Safari 2 Months Away, Wonderful and Fussfree Experience
We wanted to go a Safari in about 2 months and was looking around the lodging. Most of the places were booked. Pascal was very experience and responsive, he got us a lodging at our preferred game reserve and quickly booked for us. We were also impressed with the quick turnaround for itinerary and booking of flights. He made it so fuss-free and we didnt need to change much at all. When we were going through our SA plans, he also advised us how to get to Cape Town and recommended the best timing so that we could go into the game reserve once more before we departed. Thus far, the experience has been great and we are looking forward to see him in person!

Super responsive and helpful
From the very first time I had contacted Safari.com to plan our trip, Pascal John was super responsive regardless of the time of day and almost always able to provide useful information. When he wasn't able to give an immediate reply, he would check and come back very quickly.
