Makalolo Plains

Makalolo Plains is situated in a remote area within the vast Hwange National Park.  It is one of the few camps built within the park.  Hwange is legendary for its wonderful array of wildlife and massive herds of Elephant and Buffalo.  Makalolo is regarded as the best wildlife viewing area in the park.  There are excellent opportunities to view game from open 4x4 Land Rovers during the early morning and late afternoon when game is most active. Foot safaris are also offered, and are accompanied by an armed professional guide. The camp is set in a unique location, overlooking the Samavundhla Pan that attracts game in good concentrations.  The entire camp is raised up onto wooden board walks and platforms, giving guests excellent views over the waterhole and floodplain in front of the camp. Accommodation consists of nine large, comfortable tented rooms with en-suite shower, toilet and basin all with hot and cold running water. There is an outdoor shower too for those who enjoy showering under the stars!  The lighting in the rooms is battery powered so there is peace and quiet in camp.  Meals are enjoyed in the separate raised dining area.  There is also a lounge, pub and plunge pool. The camp has hides overlooking the waterhole, which allow guests to enjoy close up game viewing.
