Camelthorn Lodge

Experience & Activities   

This flagship lodge is nestled in a patch of pristine woodland just west of Ngamo on the edge of the southeastern corner of Hwange National Park. The lodge is unique in its style and design and has a huge ancient Camelthorn tree as its centrepiece. 

Less than a kilometre away from the lodge and inside Hwange National Park, the camp has an underground hide in front of a beautifully located waterhole. Here, elephants can be photographed from toe level, silhouetted against the sky at a distance of 25 feet. Such close proximity to Hwange’s giants is truly breathtaking! 

The friendly and knowledgeable guides will take you on walks or drives inside this truly wild and remote region of Hwange National Park, famous for its elephants and different wildlife. Guests can enjoy horseback safaris, game hikes, and in-room spa treatments.
