Camelthorn is situated in one of Hwange’s last remaining well-protected and un-spoilt acacia woodlands.  The lodge is on a private concession bordering the South Eastern corner of Hwange National Park at the edge of Ngamo’s famous Plains. 

Accommodation consists of eight villas. Each villa features a fireplace, private ground level deck, upstairs outdoor maisonette with hammock and a day bed.  The en-suite bathrooms overlook the surrounding woodland with a bath and shower. 
 
The woodlands surrounding the villas 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, village/school visits, birding & full day game drives into Hwange National Park. Exclusive horse riding activities that cater for riders from novice to experienced levels, on beautiful, bush-schooled horses are offered at additional cost. All horse riding activities are conducted by specialised, experienced safari personnel.

Airport Transfer Time: 3h from Vic Falls Airport to Halfway House by road + 2h to camp by safari vehicle. Scheduled pick up time at Halfway House for transfer to camp at 14h00 and drop off time for transfer back to Victoria Falls at 13h00. Or 10 minutes from Bomani airstrip.
