A delicious brunch is served on arrival back from your activities and then the afternoon is yours to relax in camp, take a dip in the pool, game watch from the deck or have an afternoon siesta. 
Afternoon tea is then served before you head out on your afternoon safari, you will stop along the way for some sundowners as you watch the sun slip beneath the horizon before heading back to camp for another tasty dinner around the boma.

One night during your stay at Little Mokololo, you will have the opportunity to spend the night on the star bed at Madison Pan.  This is an incredible experience, a luxury bedroom under the stars in the middle of the Hwange National Park.  A night at the star bed is weather-dependent and at the discretion of the camp manager.
