Somalisa Camp consists of seven luxury tents on raised platforms, set among acacia trees.
The main deck brings together the dining room, the open lounge and a small pool with a direct view over Elephant Pool, a waterhole where wildlife gathers. The design favours integration with nature, with shaded spaces inviting relaxation between safaris.

For your children

Somalisa accepts children aged 7 and above. Guided walks and safaris are suited to those over 16, with nature walks around the camp offered for younger children.

Rooms

Somalisa's 7 luxury tents are elegantly fitted out with canvas roof doors, private bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, a copper bathtub, a fan and a private terrace. Each tent offers a view over the savannah, inviting wildlife observation right from your own space. This refined comfort combines with a traditional, intimate safari atmosphere.

Activities offered

Activities on offer include guided walks, day and night safaris, 4x4 safaris, and close-up wildlife viewing from a hide. Animals you may observe include elephants, kudu, wildebeest, sable antelope, zebra, oryx, the rare roan antelope, buffalo, giraffe, white rhino, lion, leopard, hyena and many more. During the rainy season, the Kennedy Vlei is strewn with bright wildflowers that emerge with the first rains, while buffalo, zebra and elephant herds gather there in abundance as the grass begins to dry out.
For a unique experience, you can spend a night in a sleep-out/treehouse overlooking a waterhole, isolated beneath the starry sky and surrounded by wild bush, about 25 minutes from camp.
