Camelthorn Lodge is the newest addition to the Hwange National Park, located at the edge of the park and the Tsholotsho community concession in a refreshingly shady grove of acacia trees. The main stone-built thatched lodge is built in an open ‘U’ around the lodge’s splendid namesake Camelthorn tree. One side is an enclosed dining and sitting room with three fireplaces creating a warm and welcoming haven from the chilly summer nights.
The middle of the building is a dedicated reception area, whilst the other side has an open-fronted bar and lounge on a raised teak deck. Around the Camelthorn tree lies an open patio area where leisurely brunches and candlelit dinners are enjoyed on warm evenings. There is also a small plunge pool to cool off in.
Accommodation
The villas each have a double height ceiling, fireplace, fan, large glass sliding doors, minibar, lounge and en suite complete with shower, bath and double vanities. A unique feature of each room is an outdoor balcony which is accessed via a spiral stairway and provides an outdoor deck with hammocks ideal for a siesta, private dining or a night ‘under the stars’.
Things to Do Camelthorn
Less than a kilometre away from the lodge and inside Hwange National Park, we have built an underground hide in front of a beautifully located waterhole – elephants can be photographed from toe level silhouetted against the sky at a distance of 25 feet. Such close proximity to Hwange’s giants is truly breathtaking!
Our friendly and knowledgeable guides will take you on walks or drives inside this truly wild and remote region of Hwange National Park, famous for its giants, the elephants, as well as a plethora of different wildlife
Other activities include all-day‘ pump runs’, night drives and school and village visits. In-house spa treatments are available at an additional charge – prices and treatment options available on request
