 Somalisa Acacia 

Indulgent family-friendly safari camp

Luxury living meets family-friendly fun at this stylish safari camp in Hwange National Park.

In the east of Hwange National Park, this luxury safari camp sits beneath a shaded canopy of leafy acacia trees. Offering the ultimate in safari luxury for families, the camp can be found in a private concession, immersed within a game-rich area of the remote African bush. Wildlife is at the heart of your experience here; you’ll have a number of opportunities to see elephants, buffalo and zebra up close – and sometimes even the chance to spot a lion or two at the pool.

Indulging every generation, the camp provides the whole family with incredible safari adventures. From local cooking lessons to arts and crafts workshops, child specialist guides offer daily activities for children. All ages can join incredible game drives in the park, and adults have the chance to join a guided wild walk on foot. Back at the camp, there's a small splash pool – ideal for cooling off in the hot African heat – plus a stylish dining room, boma and safari-luxe lounge.

For accommodation, there are just four raised sail tents in the camp. Though simple in style, they maintain a sophisticated elegance with their décor. Indulgent features include the authentic hide rugs and the luxurious slipper-style bath, and there’s even a wood-burning fireplace for when the cooler months of the winter hit the camp.
