Camelthorn Lodge

Camelthorn Lodge is a luxurious gem found in the Ngamo forest of the Hwange National Park. Set in an acacia forest this place boasts of a wealth of birdlife and small animals such as bushbuck and squirrels which roam freely around the Lodge giving guests a truly unique African safari experience.

Camelthorn consists of 8 comfortable well-decked villas where guests enjoy the luxury of modern hot tubs and cosy fireplaces on chilly nights. The main lodge is beautifully designed and has as its centrepiece a huge ancient Camelthorn tree spanning a 35-metre outdoor dining area. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the woodland or just sit back in the comforts of this fully catered facility. 

Set on the edge of the Ngamo Plain, and strategically placed to explore the remote and unspoilt southeastern portion of the park, Camelthorn will also provide a spectacular wilderness experience. Less than a kilometre away from the lodge, an underground blind was built in front of a beautifully located waterhole in the park.

 Camouflaged as a termite heap and buried under an ancient Mitswiri tree – the photographic opportunities from it are dramatic. Elephants can be photographed from toe level silhouetted against the sky at a distance of 25 feet – and such proximity to Hwange’s huge bulls is honestly breathtaking.
