As part of African Bush Camps, Somalisa Camp promises a unique dream safari vacation for young and old alike. A special feature of the camp is its location in a particularly wildlife-rich area of Hwange National Park, which is known for its elephant population. The focus is on excellent guided tours, game drives, and educational activities for children. Sit back and take in the unique sight of entire herds of elephants visiting the camp's waterhole to drink.
One of the most spectacular experiences is watching the many elephants drinking at the "elephant pool." If you are longing for refreshment yourself, a separate plunge pool is available. The main focus of Somalisa Acacia is on offering families an extraordinary safari experience. Guides specializing in children offer younger guests exciting and educational adventures at the Ngwana Club, ranging from nature walks and storytelling to cultural arts and crafts and cooking classes. Other activities for all guests include game drives, hikes, and bird watching. The main camp also has a small shop selling locally and handcrafted clothing, jewelry, and souvenirs.
The comfortable tented suites are spread across both halves of the camp and comprise seven and two luxury tents respectively, plus two additional family tents. There are connecting corridors between the parents' and children's rooms. From your spacious deck, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the wilderness – some suites also offer prime views of the elephant waterhole, which is an absolute highlight. The bathrooms feature indoor and outdoor showers and a deep, freestanding copper tub.
Before the morning game drive, "fire toast" is served; a selection of cereals, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, typical corn porridge, sausage, and cheese. Lunch and dinner are enjoyed in a convivial atmosphere and consist of regional vegetables and authentic African dishes or child-friendly classics such as chicken wings and burgers. For culinary variety, the camps' pizza oven is occasionally put to use. Red and white wines are served with meals, and refreshing drinks are always available at the bar.
Somalisa Camp is tucked away in the shade of a green acacia grove and consists of a group of luxurious tented suites. The tents are furnished with natural materials such as teak floorboards, weathered wooden tables, and fur rugs. The family-friendly half of the camp, Somalisa Acacia, accommodates two spacious family tents and promises the highest standards and comfort for young and old alike. The main area is dominated by an eclectic safari chic with chairs around glass claw-foot tables, upholstered sofas, a hanging wicker chair, and elegant brass lamps. The bathrooms are inspired by the romance of bygone times and feature indoor and outdoor baths with copper bathtubs and endless views of the vast savannah.
