Khulu Bush Camp, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
A Tented Camp in Zimbabwe
Camp Details
At Khulu Bush Camp, elephants are often the main event. The camp’s famous elephant pool draws as many as 150 elephants during lunchtime and into the evening, offering an up-close wildlife experience few other places can match.
Set on a private concession bordering Hwange National Park, Khulu is a classic bush camp with canvas and thatch rooms and the freedom of an unfenced setting where wildlife frequently moves through camp. Lions, buffalo, and other animals are often spotted right from your room or the main deck.
Each of the nine rooms includes both indoor and outdoor showers, a stocked minibar, and coffee station. Two honeymoon suites have the added luxury of a freestanding bathtub. Guests can cool off in the pool, enjoy drinks by the campfire, or spend time in the hide near the waterhole. Khulu Bush Camp is a relaxed, down-to-earth base for big game, big skies, and unforgettable sightings.

Staying at Khulu Bush Camp
Is the elephant pool as good as it sounds?
Khulu's waterhole is the camp's defining feature, drawing as many as 150 elephants from around lunchtime and into the evening. There is a hide by the water, and the main deck looks out over it, so you can spend a whole afternoon without leaving camp and still see a great deal.
What does an unfenced camp mean in practice?
Khulu sits on a private concession bordering Hwange National Park, with no fence around it, so lions, buffalo and other game move through regularly and are often seen from the rooms or the deck. Staff escort guests between the rooms and the main areas after dark.
What are the rooms like, and is there anything for a couple in particular?
There are nine canvas and thatch rooms, each with indoor and outdoor showers, a stocked minibar and a coffee station. Two of them are honeymoon suites with a freestanding bathtub. Rates start from US$650 per person per night and cover meals, local drinks, camp activities, park fees, laundry and Wi-Fi.
