À vivre

Khulu Bush Camp, nestled in a private concession on the edge of Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, offers an intimate and exclusive safari experience. Overlooking a waterhole frequented by wildlife, the camp combines discreet comfort with total immersion in nature. Its elegant elevated tents offer sweeping views of elephants, lions and antelopes coming to drink.
Khulu Bush Camp pays tribute to Cedric Wilde, one of the directors of the Amalinda Safari Collection, affectionately nicknamed “Khulu”, grandfather in the local language, who willingly shares stories and melodies by the fire with guests.
Here, luxury is expressed through simplicity, silence, and the magic of the moment. An ideal refuge for lovers of wild and unspoiled Africa.

Layout

Khulu Bush Camp’s thoughtful layout blends comfort with immersion in nature: nine raised suites, including one family suite, face a waterhole frequented by wildlife.
Guests enjoy a welcoming lodge with a pool, a photographic hide, two outdoor fireplaces, and nine elegant rooms, two of which have indoor and outdoor showers, a minibar, and a coffee corner, all opening onto the savannah.
Khulu Bush Camp stands out for its subtle blend of high-end comfort and traditional hospitality. Overlooking a dry riverbed, the camp offers a privileged view of the waterhole, frequented by the well-known presidential herd of elephants and an array of spectacular wildlife.
The tastefully decorated chic colonial style creates a warm, authentic atmosphere, ideal for observing wildlife in complete tranquility.

For your children

Khulu Bush Camp welcomes children from the age of 12. Children under 12 are admitted only if the camp is booked on an exclusive-use basis. For families with younger children, Khulu's Retreat, a private villa affiliated with the camp, may offer a more suitable alternative.

Rooms

The tents at Khulu Bush Camp combine elegance and comfort amid the wilderness.
Spacious and raised, they offer unobstructed views over the savannah and a waterhole frequently visited by wildlife.
Each tent has a king-size or twin bed, an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower, separate toilet, fan, minibar and a private deck. The colonial-style furnishings create a warm, refined atmosphere.
A family tent is also available, ideal for travellers with children.
The spacing and insulation between units ensure privacy and quiet, while allowing for total immersion in the wild environment.

Activities offered

Day and night 4x4 safaris allow guests to observe a wide range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, African wild dogs and over 400 bird species.
Expert-guided walking safaris offer an intimate approach to the bush, ideal for nature enthusiasts. Birdwatchers will appreciate the dedicated birding sessions.
The camp also offers cultural experiences, such as visits to the Painted Dog Conservation Centre and the local village of Dete, fostering exchange with local communities.
For total immersion, nights under the stars on outdoor beds are available, offering a unique experience out in the savannah.
