HOME TO A WILDLIFE GAME
The skies are vast, the vistas are monumental. And the herds of elephants are amongst the largest on the African continent. Welcome to the ‘Land of the Giants’.
You’re taking a leisurely dip in the camp swimming pool when one of the giants has the same idea – and casually strolls over to the Elephant Pool just a few yards away. Suddenly you are almost within touching distance of a wild elephant.
Make sure you specify a visit to Somalisa Camp when you take your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Zimbabwe and you’ll experience quite a few similarly exciting encounters with wildlife. The camp is set in the heart of Hwange National Park, on an acacia island beside a seasonal floodplain. So it is home to game including giraffe, lions, leopards, hyena, buffalo, kudu, sable, zebra, wildebeest, gemsbok and even the endangered roan antelope. Many of which saunter down to the camp’s watering hole.

The service we received from 91ºÚÁÏÍø was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
