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.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
