Camelthorn Lodge is nestled into a beautiful forest adjacent to Hwange National Park’s famous Ngamo Plains. The lodge is unique in style and design and has a particularly meaningful story behind it—built for and by the community whose land it calls home. An ancient Camelthorn tree, the property’s namesake, is the centerpiece with the main lodge and eight beautiful villas flowing around it. Enjoy al fresco dining, sip your morning coffee in front of a roaring fire, track herds of elephant by foot, and enjoy close-up photography from inside our look-up blind. A spectacular wilderness experience—this flagship lodge is the perfect home base for an immersive safari experience.
