Country: Zimbabwe

Location: Hwange National Park

Style: Luxury Tented Lodge

Little Makalolo Camp lies in the heart of Hwange National Park, in one of its best game viewing areas, overlooking a vibrant waterhole.

The camp's 6 rooms have en suite facilities, with both indoor and outdoor showers.   Solar power is used for electricity ensuring a lighter environmental footprint.

The living areas include a dining room, lounge, plunge pool and an open fire for those convivial evening fireside tales.

A log pile hide overlooks the waterhole in front of camp where you can enjoy wildlife viewing during the siesta hours.

Activities at Little Makalolo Camp centre on open 4x4 Land Rover game drives and guided nature walks throughout the Makalolo concession.

The area's large number of waterholes attracts game in both quantity and variety, especially in the winter months when Hwange is literally home to a Noah's Ark parade of animals as they come down to quench their thirst.

Makalolo is one of the best areas for seeing impressive herds of buffalo and elephant as well as apex predators such as lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah.   Other general game is also abundant in the park.

Bird life in the region is prolific and varied, with species frequenting teak woodlands as well as those more typical of the drier Kalahari being present.
