Tucked away into an ancient bushman's shelter, Camp Amalinda's charm will leave an indelible impression on every visitor to Zimbabwe.

Some of the most majestic granite scenery in the world is found in the Matobo Hills. It is here that the hopes, trials and tribulations of the San Bushmen are recorded in the ancient rock art. Mammal and bird species are prolific and include the highest concentration of Leopard and Black Eagle in the world. The natural granite domes and castle kopjies of the Matobo Hills, Zimbabwe are among some of the most majestic rock sceneries in the world.

Nestled in this unique range of hills in the south west of Zimbabwe is Camp Amalinda.

The Camp

Camp Amalinda consists of 8 individually thatched suites including a romantic honeymoon suite. Each suite is carved into the huge boulders and includes ensuite facilities and a unique character.

The lounge and entertainment area is tucked away into a bushman shelter with a panoramic view of the Matobo Hills. Delicious meals are served on a massive teak table in the open-air dining room.

A cosy library contains some of the old "African classics", whilst a secluded chess room, located amongst the tree tops guarantees peace and tranquillity. For the wine connoisseur, we recommend a visit to our natural cave wine cellar.

Sundowners can be enjoyed around a warm fire in the enclosed "boma" area.

Camp Amalinda is 45km south west of Bulawayo on a fully tarred road with only 1-km of dirt.
