Somalisa Acacia offers an ideal Hwange Safari for families with young children or small private groups. Located in the heart of Hwange National Park on a private concession, this family camp provides breathtaking views of the golden savannah plains from under a canopy of Acacias.
The camp features a lounge, dining room, boma, swimming pool, and an elephant drinking pool, offering close encounters and excellent photo opportunities. It includes two luxury family tents with inter-leading access and two luxury sail tents, all with en-suite facilities and panoramic bush views through gauze sliding doors. On special request, Somalisa Acacia can be booked with Somalisa Camp to cater for larger groups of up to 20 people. A private guide and tour leader facility is available on special request.
The camp aims to deliver an exceptional safari experience for families. With child specialist guides leading educational activities and adventures suitable for all ages, from nature walks and storytelling to cultural arts, crafts, and cooking classes, our Ngwana Club ensures a fun and educational environment for children on safari.
A family safari at Somalisa Acacia offers a lifetime experience, providing a hassle-free holiday in Africa that's equally indulgent and relaxing for parents and exciting, educational, and fun for children.

"While Somalisa Acacia Camp in Hwange National Park in northwest Zimbabwe features all the same bells and whistles as its award-winning sister camp, Somalisa, along with excellent guiding and fantastic wildlife encounters, it specifically caters to families with children of all ages. Allowing your little ones to learn and immerse themselves in the bush from a young age, a stay here creates countless wonderful memories that will last a lifetime"
