Intimate encounters in the “land of the giants”

Somalisa Camp sits on a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park, one of the continent’s most biodiverse regions. This remote corner of Zimbabwe is known as “the land of the giants” for its large elephant herds. They often wander up to the camp’s pool to drink – a sight you can enjoy from your deck chair, drink in hand. Only a 45-minute flight from Victoria Falls, you’re greeted with sweeping views across golden savannah plains and easy access to one of Southern Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions.

Unforgettable safari activities include morning and afternoon game drives, seasonal birding, guided walking safaris and cultural tours. The Elephant Pool offers safe, close-up wildlife viewing – ideal for photographers. Craving more adventure? There’s an option of a night in a romantic treehouse overlooking a waterhole under the star-filled African sky. Every detail at Somalisa effortlessly blends wilderness with luxury, letting you experience an intimate connection to nature without sacrificing comfort.

Somalisa Camp’s tented suites combine authentic African style with contemporary touches. The units feature copper slipper bathtubs, wood-burning fireplaces, indoor and outdoor showers as well as private viewing decks. The camp’s eco-conscious ethos runs deep – it operates entirely on solar power, recycles 80% of its water and proudly holds Zimbabwe’s first GOLD Green Tourism Certification. Between safaris, you can unwind in the inviting lounge, sip sundowners at the bar, cool off in the pool and gather around the firepit under the stars at night. Somalisa Camp welcomes children over the age of 12 years and is perfect for a standalone stay or paired with a visit to Victoria Falls.
