Overview

Somalisa Expeditions is our off-the-beaten-track Experience situated within Hwange National Park – Zimbabwe’s largest and most renowned wildlife reserve. From the arid fringes of the Kalahari Desert to the dense mopane and teak woodlands, this expansive Park boasts a diverse range of landscapes, ecosystems, and wildlife, offering an authentic Zimbabwe safari. Every wildlife encounter at Somalisa Expeditions is close up; mesmerizing and captivating.

At Somalisa Expeditions, embark on incredible morning and afternoon game drives and witness the beauty of Zimbabwe on immersive walking safaris. Experience the remarkable in-camp Elephant Pool, a natural extension of the property (where the elephants come and drink in the heat of the day). Capture unforgettable moments from our dedicated photography hide, designed to enhance your safari with close up shots of magnificent wildlife. Additionally, experience a dreamy night under the starry night sky at Somalisa Sleep-Out – a romantic treehouse retreat overlooking a watering hole just fifteen minutes from camp.

This Experience is seamlessly enveloped within its surroundings, featuring earthy hues of ochre and green. Its Zimbabwean influenced decor and organic textures showcase local art and craftsmanship. The cozy lounge invites relaxation – perfect for reading, drawing and journaling – while the spacious dining table offers an ideal setting for shared meals among friends and family. A refreshing plunge pool in the main area provides a cool escape, and a fully equipped bar ensures your favorite drinks are always within reach. In the evenings, share stories of your day’s adventures around the fire, enjoying the warmth and connection under the starlit sky.

With five luxury tents and one luxury family tent, Somalisa Expeditions offers an intimate safari experience by combining luxury and comfort with the beauty of the African bush. Each luxury tent is set atop a wooden deck, raised above the ground to provide breathtaking views of the surroundings. Their interior is equipped with a king size bed draped in mosquito netting (the smaller room of the luxury family tent has two single beds with mosquito netting), an indoor shower, in-room charging facilities, and a wooden writing desk.

At Somalisa Expeditions, relax in luxury, embrace adventure, and discover Africa; real and remote.
