THE DETAILS

Wilderness Little Makalolo

Stroll along the walkway from your tented suite to the main area, where an open fire beckons all to sit, and spend a starry evening sharing stories. From the raised pool deck, enjoy a dip in the pool and a sundowner, keeping an eye on the waterhole that attracts an abundance of wildlife. In this remote part of Hwange, the camp's footprint is minimal, with electricity provided by solar power.

Purpose

Your presence matters

Your stay with us helps protect Hwange’s wildlife. The 34,000 hectares of land where we operate is home to an impressive diversity of wildlife. Snares set in the reserve are indiscriminate, and even the fiercest of animals end up falling victim. Alongside the Scorpion Anti-Poaching Unit, we work tirelessly to help keep our precious wildlife safe.

Out on game drive, train your eyes on the horizon, in search of herds of buffalo, lone elephant bulls and rare antelope like sable and roan. Scan the treeline for many of the over 400 species of birds found in Hwange, or retire to the hide and wait for them there, binoculars in hand. Meet the people who support Hwange’s wildlife: the Scorpion Anti-Poaching Unit, and nearby community members.
