Makalolo Plains & Little Makalolo

Hwange National Park - Accommodation

Makalolo Plains is situated in a remote area within the vast Hwange National Park. It is one of the few camps built within the park. Hwange is legendary for its wonderful array of wildlife and massive herds of Elephant and Buffalo - especially in the dryer winter months.

There are excellent opportunities to view game from open 4x4 Land Rovers during the early morning and late afternoon when game is most active. Foot safaris are also offered, and are accompanied by an armed professional guide.

The camp is set in a unique location, overlooking the Samavundhla Pan that attracts game in good concentrations.

The entire camp is raised up onto wooden boardwalks and platforms, giving guests excellent views over the waterhole and floodplain in front of the camp. Accommodation consists of nine large, comfortable tented rooms with en-suite shower, toilet and basin all with hot and cold running water.

There is an outdoor shower too for those who enjoy showering under the stars! The lighting in the rooms is battery powered so there is peace and quiet in camp. Meals are enjoyed in the separate raised dining area. There is also a lounge, pub and plunge pool. The camp has hides overlooking the waterhole, which allow guests to enjoy close up game viewing.

Little Makalolo is a comfortable five-roomed tented camp located about 20 minutes drive away from Makalolo Plains. The comfortable tented rooms each have en-suite facilities, including a flush toilet, and shower with hot and cold running water - as well as an outdoor shower under the stars! The main living area is under canvas and houses the dining room, lounge and pub, and there is a small plunge pool.

The camp overlooks a small waterhole and there is a tree house hide where guests can enjoy game viewing during the "siesta" hours.
