Makalolo Plains, situated in a remote and private area within the vast Hwange National Park, is one of the few camps built within the park. Hwange is legendary for its wonderful array of wildlife, particularly the massive herds of elephant and buffalo and summer sees the large antelope herds migrate onto the plains, closely followed by their predators. Makalolo Plains is built on raised platforms, providing panoramic views over the Samavundhla Pan and floodplain and excellent concentrations of wildlife. Accomodation consists of nine large, comfortable tented rooms with en-suite facilities as well as an outdoor shower for those who enjoy showering under the stars. The main area has a lounge, plunge pool and dining area where delicious meals are served. While the emphasis is on game drives, night drives and guided walks, well-situated hides or raised platforms provide the ideal manner to while away the afternoon, watching wildlife come down to the waterholes to drink. Birdlife in the area is prolific and varied, with species frequenting Miombo woodlands as well as those of the Kalahari being present.
