| Little Makalolo Camp Little Makalolo is situated within Hwange National Park. It is a vastly diverse area from other parts of Zimbabwe with open, palm-fringed plains, grasslands, acacia woodlands and teak forests. The camp is amongst teak trees looking towards a waterhole and pan just 100m away. Accomodation is in five luxury tented rooms with en-suite facilities. The dining room, lounge and pub areas are all under canvas. There is also a plunge pool, which is a great place to relax after a day's game viewing. Summer sees the large antelope herds migrate onto the open grasslands in the area, closely followed by their predators. Elephants, buffalo, sable, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and sometimes even gemsbok can be seen here. The area is one of the best for predators – lion, leopard, wild dog are regularly sighted, along with the smaller African wild cat, serval, honey badger, civet and hyena. The area has a number of waterholes which attract game in large concentrations, especially during the winter months. Guests can sit at a waterhole and watch the passing parade of animals as they come to quench their thirst. For the bird watcher, Makalolo offers a wonderful range of birding, from Miombo species right through to the Kalahari species. The main activities are the game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers. Walks with an experienced and armed guide are a highlight for those who want to experience Africa at close quarters. |
