Somalisa Acacia
An authentic family camp in the game-rich eastern Hwange National Park
Somalisa Acacia
Somalisa Acacia offers an exceptional family safari experience in Hwange National Park, perfectly tailored for families with younger children.
Located on a private concession in a prime Big Five game area, this intimate camp combines adventurous safari activities with the comforts of a family-focused retreat. The two luxury family tented suites offer interleading access and ensuite facilities, ideal for families who want their own private space, while sliding gauze doors provide uninterrupted 180 degree views of the surrounding bush and its inhabitants.
At the heart of the camp, an open-air lounge and dining area create a welcoming space for family gatherings, with a refreshing plunge pool for afternoon dips and a cosy boma for evening drinks. The camp’s elephant pool allows guests to witness elephants up close as they come to drink—a mesmerising experience for all ages.
Somalisa Acacia’s expert guides specialise in family-friendly game drives and interactive nature walks, sparking children’s curiosity with engaging activities and incredible storytelling. Immersive game drives and bush walks offer families the chance to spot Hwange’s diverse wildlife, from lions and buffalo to giraffes and zebras, while cultural tours to nearby villages, organised in partnership with the African Bush Camps Foundation, provide an insight into local traditions and community-led conservation projects.
Somalisa Acacia is a family-focused camp with a touch of style, ideal for exploring Hwange’s wildlife-rich landscapes with children of all ages.
