À vivre

Set within a private 2,000-hectare concession, between the shrubby savannah of Hwange National Park, home to the country's largest elephant population, and the wetlands of the Ngamo region, a haven for birds and antelope, this lodge offers a wide range of safaris, by 4x4 or on foot, by day and by night.

Layout

Bomani Tented Lodge comprises a main lodge, raised on stilts above the Bomani marsh for which it is named, housing the restaurant, bar and lounge/library (wifi available). A vast teak terrace offers constant opportunities to watch the many birds and other animals that come here to drink and bathe. From this central hub, wooden walkways, also raised on stilts, lead to the 9 tents and the 77 m² stone-and-thatch bungalow designed for families with children aged 7 and over.
A swimming pool is also available.

For your children

Children are welcome from the age of 7.

Rooms

The 5 “Hornbill” tents (45m²) are raised more than a metre off the ground on stilts, their large terrace offering sweeping views over the Ngamo plain. The 4 “Spurwing Suites” (60m²) — one specially fitted out for honeymooners — and the family bungalow sit at ground level directly facing the camp’s waterhole, which draws numerous mammals morning and evening. Each tent, elegantly decorated with local furniture and crafts, has either a large double bed or twin beds, a desk area and an en-suite bathroom.

Seasons

Our seasonal advice

The dry season usually begins around March/April and peaks in late October. This is the ideal season to observe animals as they search daily for watering holes, though the landscape is rather “scorched” by the sun. From November, rains allow the vegetation to flourish again. Highly variable, these rains normally continue until early March. January and February are then the ideal season for birdwatching, as birds are present in large numbers in Hwange National Park during the rainy season. April and May reveal a much greener, more lush Africa, though wildlife is harder to spot. Between May and July, daytime temperatures remain very pleasant but can drop sharply at night and at dawn. A fleece is essential for the morning safari!
