Summer sees the herds migrate onto Hwange’s plains, closely followed by their predators. Sitting at Little Makalolo’s waterhole you’re guaranteed a front row view of the animals’ impressive journey. It is an intimate, peaceful, and exhilarating experience, Zimbabwe at its best.
If sitting by the waterhole watching elephant and buffalo drink and bathe is your idea of heaven, choose to stay at Little Makalolo. Remote and beautiful, it is one of the few private camps within Hwange National Park. It is situated in its own private concession along with its sister camp, Makalolo Plains.
With accommodation for only 12 people, the camp provides a high degree of privacy. The six tents are large, comfortable, tastefully decorated tented rooms with en suite facilities, hot and cold running water, as well as both indoor and outdoor showers. One large tent is equipped especially for families.

The living area includes a canvas and thatch dining room, bar, and open fire area for evening bush tales. Solar power is used for lighting and water heating, helping to minimise the camp’s environmental footprint.
