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 big elephant herds and Somalisa, set on a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park, is famous for its up-close encounters with elephants that love to drink from the pool in front of camp. Tucked away under the dappled shade of an acacia grove along the edge of an ancient seasonal flood plain, Somalisa provides guests with breathtaking views of the golden savannah plains of Hwange.
Somalisa has seven elegant luxury sail tents and is a place of simple luxury where the focus is on our guest experience to ensure a safari adventure that exceeds your dreams. This intimate bush camp is perfect for relaxing with friends and loved ones. Your tent is replete with modern appointments such as a fan, a battery charging station, a wood-burning fireplace and a private viewing deck. Your bathroom, worthy of a special mention, is inspired by the romance of yesteryear, boasts an indoor and outdoor bathroom and features a copper slipper-style bath tub and endless views across the vast plains beyond.
With a complete solar power farm and water purity system which allows the camp to recycle 80%of the water used, Somalisa Camp is leading the way in eco-friendly safari accommodation. It hasbeen awarded the first GOLD Green Tourism Certification in Zimbabwe.

Outstanding and professional performance by Pascal John
Pascal John quickly proved his professionalism as well as his in-depth and experienced knowledge of South Africa safaris. He demonstrated the ability to rapidly understand what I was looking for out of a safari trip and how to make that happen. He added real value to the process with his connections to lodging reservations at various lodges and arranged for an itinerary that is not possible to accomplish by oneself on the internet alone. For example, he was able to negotiate away for me a single supplement. He added immediate value and quickly/painlessly everything came together. This includes booking flights, ground transport, lodging and wildlife drives. I can without reservation recommend working with Pascal John at Safari.com.
