Camp Amalinda is an African inspired exclusive safari lodge in the Matobo Hills offering a great base for exploring this enigmatic region of Zimbabwe.

Less than an hour by car from Bulaweyo and just 20 minutes from Bulaweyo Airport, Camp Amalinda is an ideal starting or finishing point on a tour of Zimbabwe.

The Matobo Hills’ granite domes and castle kopjes echo the tranquillity and majesty of untamed Africa and Camp Amalinda is tucked away in an old Bushman’s shelter right amongst the boulders.

Camp Amalinda has just 9 thatch-roofed lodges, each with its own unique design and feel, including showers built into the granite rock faces. Three family rooms are available.

The infinity rock swimming pool offers the perfect spot from which to admire the beauty of the Matobo Hills.

In addition to the stunning landscape, the area is also game rich and ancient rock art of the San Bushmen adds to the sense of an ancient and ‘spiritual’ landscape.

What’s so Special?

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Matobo Hills is one of Zimbabwe’s most spectacular sights and one of the most dramatic landscapes in Southern Africa.

Zimbabwe’s Matobo Hills are also home to some of the highest concentrations of Leopard and Black Eagle in the world, as well as a healthy population of the endangered Black and White Rhino.

Camp Amalinda was voted into the top 3 Safari Lodges in Zimbabwe in 2010 and 2013.

Bear in Mind

Walking on the property is safe – you could bump into warthog, zebra, klipspringer, kudu, impala, wildebeest, reedbuck, duiker, steenbok, hyrax and a vast variety of bird life.

Dining

The lounge and entertainment areas are 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.

For the wine connoisseur, there is a natural cave wine cellar, whilst sundowners can be enjoyed around a warm fire in the enclosed ‘boma’ area.

Facilities

At the base of the camp is a large swimming pool with comfortable loungers and a bar, all over-looking a waterhole.

A cosy library contains some of the old ‘African Classics’, whilst a secluded chess room, located amongst the treetops guarantees peace and tranquillity.

Amongst this stunning backdrop, situated near the pool is the Heritage Spa. Spoil yourself with a full Body Massage, Back and neck Massage, Manicure or Pedicure.

Rhino Tracking

Enjoy Rhino tracking by vehicle or on foot in the Matobo Hills, one of the last bastions of both black and white rhino in Africa. Accompanied by an expert guide track rhino and get up close to one of Africa’s big 5.

Bushman Art Sites

Explore the hills where mysterious nomads once held their sacred ceremonies. The rocky granite topography boasts more than 2000 sites of the San (Bushman) tribes and is probably the richest source of San rock art known.

This area, and several locally famous rocks here hold spiritual significance of bygone rituals. Here, you can learn about the San’s trials and tribulations, hopes and aspirations.

View of the World

Drive through the granite hills in the footsteps of Cecil John Rhodes and visit his world famous tomb known as 'View of the World”'.

Leander Starr Jameson is also buried here and together with the spirits of soldiers killed in battle by Matabele warriors, according to some of the locals, they gather around at sunset.

Village Experience

Visit an African homestead and get down to earth with the local Matabele people. Enjoy some gracious hospitality as they show you around their 'pole and dagga' huts.

This is a great opportunity to get an insight into the local way of life and culture. There is a chance to visit a clinic, traditional healer and local primary school.
