Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Little Makalolo

The water hole in front of camp gets tons of action and the surrounding game is excellent. We hope that Little Makalolo and Hwange's wildlife can hang on to their allure until Zimbabwe turns a corner.  — Mango's view

Little Makalolo is a comfortable six-roomed tented camp in the heart of Hwange National Park, in one of its best game viewing areas. Little Makalolo is one of the few camps located within the park, and offers privacy for guests who enjoy small camps and a sense of remoteness.

The tented rooms each have en-suite facilities, including a flush toilet, and shower with hot and cold running water - as well as an outdoor shower under the stars. They also include wooden floors, mosquito nets, fans, and heaters in the colder winter months. The main living area is under canvas and houses the dining room, lounge and pub, and a small plunge pool.

The camp overlooks a small waterhole and guests can enjoy game viewing during the siesta hours from a tree house hide. Activities at Little Makalolo center on game viewing in open 4x4 vehicles throughout the Makalolo concession area, as well as walks with armed guides. Lion, large herds of elephant, buffalo, hyena, giraffe, sable, wildebeest, impala, waterbuck, and Reed Buck are all present. The highlight here is the large open plains where one can see large quantities of animals. Summer game viewing is excellent with wildebeest, zebra and eland found in abundance on the plains. In winter, the water holes are magnets for elephant and on some days each water hole can get up to 1000 elephants coming down to drink.

The area is ecologically diverse, ensuring a varied food pantry, which feeds great numbers of animals year round. Makalolo is one of the best areas for predators, buffalo and elephant - all featuring regularly in the experience.
