Makololo Plains: Our View


The highlights here are the large open plains and the fantastic views of the nearby watering hole. This lodge has a unique feel and Wilderness has done well with the up keep of the camp. The country's economic and political difficulties seem to be a distant reality while at Makalolo. The camp is raised on stilted teak wood platforms and has ten luxury, private rooms surrounding an imposing main area with a large dining room and seating area.


4 paws - a more upmarket Wilderness camp, Little Makalolo is also available as a more secluded camp

Hwange
The Hide has consistently been voted “Best Tented Safari Camp in Zimbabwe” since 1995. We have used it ever since and in our view it remains the best lodge in Hwange. It is also one of the few lodges in the Park.
Lake Kariba
Visitors to Lake Kariba are usually attracted by the exceptional fishing or the renowned game viewing of the Matusadona National Park on the shore. The unique, elevated situation of Bumi Hills provides guests with stunning views of this vast lake and all the comforts expected of a safari lodge. However, if you're after a more rustic and traditional safari experience Musango would be more suitable.
Hwange
This camp is rather rustic and lacks many of the mod cons. The water hole is a hive of game activity which most of the tents overlook. There are few camps that you can watch such an abundance of game right from your tent veranda.
