Somalisa Expeditions

Deep inside Zimbabwe’s exceptional Hwange National Park, the country’s largest wildlife haven, Somalisa Expeditions embodies the spirit of an old-world safari, striking a balance between rustic simplicity and all the comforts travellers seek after a day of exploration. From the fringes of the Kalahari Desert to mopane woodlands, Hwange’s diverse landscapes mean every safari drive feels like a new adventure. The nearby elephant pool brings wildlife right to the camp’s doorstep, with herds gathering in full view of the main deck on a daily basis.

Spend a night at the Somalisa Sleep-Out treehouse, perched high for views of the waterhole below and open to the star-filled African sky. During the daytime, explore Hwange on morning and afternoon game drives, venture out on foot with expert guides for thrilling walking safaris or join cultural tours and birding excursions. Somalisa Expeditions also has a dedicated photography hide that brings you on eye-level with elephants and other wildlife, creating opportunities for remarkable close-up shots. 

The luxury tents are situated on raised wooden platforms, blending seamlessly with the landscape. Each tent includes an en-suite bathroom, an indoor shower, a private deck and thoughtful touches, such as mosquito netting and in-room charging facilities. Children aged 12 years and older are welcome, and a specially designed tent is available to accommodate families. The main area features a plunge pool and bar, a fire pit and a lounge for journaling, drawing or simply relaxing. Entirely solar-powered, Somalisa Expeditions offers an eco-conscious safari that’s adventurous, intimate and deeply connected to the land.
