Nestled within a pristine forest adjacent to Hwange National Park's renowned Ngamo Plains, Camelthorn Lodge offers an unparalleled safari experience in one of Africa's most untouched landscapes. The lodge's unique design centers around a magnificent ancient camelthorn tree, seamlessly integrating luxury accommodations with the surrounding natural beauty.

The lodge features eight spacious forest villas, each thoughtfully designed to provide guests with supreme comfort and privacy. Every villa boasts a private en-suite bathroom with a large soaking tub and walk-in shower, a cozy fireplace, and both indoor and outdoor seating areas. A distinctive feature is the canopy-level balcony, accessible via a spiral staircase, offering a secluded outdoor deck with hammocks—ideal for an afternoon siesta or private dining under the stars. Select villas also include plunge pools on the upper deck, enhancing the luxurious experience.

Culinary experiences at Camelthorn Lodge are both refined and immersive. Guests can savor gourmet meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served in various enchanting settings—from the elegant dining area to al fresco spots under the stars. The lodge also offers a unique "bath with a view" experience, where guests can enjoy a relaxing soak while gazing out over the Zambezi River.

A diverse array of activities awaits guests, including expertly guided game drives, walking safaris, and cultural experiences. The lodge's proximity to the Ngamo Plains ensures exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities, with frequent sightings of elephants, lions, and an array of bird species. Guests can also visit the nearby rhino sanctuary to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. For a truly unique perspective, the lodge offers an underground photographic blind, camouflaged as a termite mound, providing dramatic close-up views of wildlife at the waterhole.
