There are 3 Safari lodges in the park itself, others located on the outside. From what I hear from Zimbabweans, this one is preferred. It's way back in the bush, and as you can see from their on-line brochure, in an Acacia stand, quite pretty. The rainy season held off until we left, allowing us to see a great variety... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Somalisa during our honeymoon. It was the first time to Africa for both of us, and Somalisa was our first camp of three. The wildlife was AMAZING! If you love elephants, you must go here. We also saw lion, kudu, beautiful birds, zebra, baboon, and the list just goes on and on.... More

Somalisa was the first of six stops my friend and I made on a recent four week vacation in Africa. It was my first trip to Africa and Somalisa was a glorious introduction to safari camps. Other reviewers have said just about everything there is to say about Somalisa so I won’t repeat the many superlatives. Suffice to say that... More

Our family spent 3 nights at this fantastic safari camp. Our guide Mike was absolutely fabulous, very knowledgable & great fun. Staff are without fault, food is top class & wildlife viewing is amazing. The ellies are every where, but we had great sightings of 4 of the big 5, no crowds. We felt completely safe for the whole 3... More

Our family of three stayed in the camp for three nights booked through South Africa Airline vacation. The camp is a couple hour drives away from the main camp. The staffs were very friendly and attentive. Our guide Mike was one of the best ones we have had for Safari. We have been in Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa for... More

In a nutshell: we loved Somalisa in every aspect. It is a bit of a long drive from Livingstone, but the drive was made very pleasant by Sevious (from Silver Tours) who is a very friendly and open person and by the end of the trip we were friends - we were happy when he showed up to pick us... More

We stayed at Somalisa towards the end of November for a 3 night stay after a recommedation from a local travel agent. From the moment we were collected from the Hwange Main Camp we were spoilt rotten with wonderful food, great service & of course an amazing wild life experience. The camp is wonderful & also very intimate with only... More

We booked out the camp and travelled to Somalisa as a group of four families. We had five children between us ranging from 3 to 12 in age. The staff at Somalisa were wonderful in catering for the children and in providing activities in a way that was suitable for the children. This included packing special meals for them to... More

The highlight of my African trip by far. Spent four amazing nights here and wish I could have stayed for a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the team was amazing and I felt like I finally found the African atmosphere that I was looking for. The tents that we stayed in were cozy and comfortable, with romantic bathrooms that... More
