Camelthorn is situated in one of Hwange’s last remaining well-protected and un-spoilt acacia woodlands. The lodge is on a private concession within the Tsholotsho Communal area, bordering the South Eastern corner of Hwange National Park at the edge of the famous Ngamo Plains.
An ancient Camelthorn tree is the centrepiece of the lodge. Accommodation consists of eight rooms featuring a fireplace, private ground level deck, bath and shower. Every room has a canopy level balcony, accessible via a spiral stairway, which offers a private outdoor deck with hammocks.
The woodlands surrounding the rooms are dotted with small water baths attracting woodland creatures such as bushbuck, mongooses and an abundance of interesting and colorful birdlife. There is an underground hide by a waterhole less than a kilometer away where elephants can be photographed from toe level. Being at such close proximity to these giants is truly breathtaking!
Activities on offer include day & night game drives on the private concession, game walks, game drives into Hwange National Park. A visit to the close by village including the school and/or clinic and the homestead of a local elder. A visit of the Imvelo Ngamo Rhino Sanctuary headquarters followed by a guided walk to see and learn about the rhinos and the conservation efforts to protect them.
Airstrip transfer Time: 10 minutes from Bomani airstrip.
