A Family Focused Safari in Hwange National Park

Hailed as one of Zimbabwe’s standout family safari destinations, African Bush Camps Somalisa Acacia earns our strongest recommendation for multigenerational travel and small groups of friends. Set within a grove of iconic acacia trees, the camp delivers an authentic and relaxed Hwange wilderness experience with a strong emphasis on privacy and flexibility.
Designed specifically for families and private groups, the camp hosts a maximum of just 12 guests. Accommodation consists of two family tents connected by interleading walkways and two standalone canvas tents. This layout allows families to stay close while maintaining comfort and independence.
