Authentic and luxurious, Somalisa Acacia is a small tented bush camp located in a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park.
Nestled within an acacia forest, on the edge of a seasonal floodplain, Somalisa looks out over extensive savannah grasslands - excellent elephant territory.
Unassumingly blending into the environment, this stylish camp was carefully built to ensure it maintained an uncompromising focus on the beauty of the region, the game experience and excellent guiding.
Two sail tents and two family units are charmingly styled with glass wood-burner fireplaces, gauze sliding doors and decadent vintage baths with views. The family units have inter-leading walkways between the parents and kids rooms. Central areas include a cosy dining tent and lounge overlooking the waterhole, and a splash pool is ideal for cooling off during sunny days.
Activities include game drives, walking, bird watching, game viewing from hides, night drives and cultural tours of local villages.

Region
Bordering Botswana, Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest game park with an area of 14,600km² and is only a two hour drive or a 40 minute flight from Victoria Falls. Its sheer size means that its scenery, vegetation and game vary massively, ranging from the semi desert scrub on the edge of the Kalahari in the south, to forests, granite hills and valleys of mopane woodlands in the north.
The national park is home to over 400 bird species and 100 mammal species, including lion, leopard, cheetah and rhino, and is known for its large population of elephant. The highest numbers of animals are spotted in the dry season when the wildlife congregates around the shrunken water holes.
