Bomani Tented Lodge
Bomani Tented Lodge is nestled in a private concession in the southeastern corner of Hwange National Park—Zimbabwe's largest and most renowned reserve. Located along the Ngamo Plains, the camp offers a sublime armchair safari experience with panoramic views of the plains and a nearby watering hole. Relax on your private deck, binoculars and a glass of wine in hand, as you watch wildlife graze in the grasslands, making their way toward the vital water source.
With year-round game viewing, this wildlife destination remains exceptional throughout the seasons, offering a wealth of safari activities. Traditional game drives and immersive walking safaris invite you to explore the vast reserve in search of unique wildlife sightings, while night drives provide the perfect opportunity to spot nocturnal creatures as they emerge from their hidden alcoves to relish in the coolness of the evening.
Bomani offers a range of accommodation options, including ground-level tents and family suites on raised decks, blending comfort and luxury at every turn. This makes it an ideal lodge for friends, couples, and families. You're invited to personalise your daily activities under the guidance of an expert, ensuring a safari adventure tailored to your interests and capitalising on the best wildlife sightings.

The Saddlebill Double Tent offers classic canvas-tented accommodations, situated on a raised deck with an elevated outdoor seating area, perfect for a private armchair safari. These spacious tents boast either king or queen-sized beds, draped with cascading mosquito nets to ensure a peaceful night’s rest. An overhead fan keeps the space cool and comfortable during the hot afternoons. The en-suite bathroom is complete with a shower and vanity.
The Sable Suite is Bomani’s gem, nestled among a grove of Camelthorn trees in a secluded area away from the rest of the lodge. It’s ideal for exclusive safari getaways with friends and family. The suite is spacious, comprising two large bedrooms—one with a king-sized bed and the other with twin three-quarter beds. Each room is decorated with an ethos that reflects the natural surroundings, featuring pops of warm colours that create a sense of snug comfort.
An expansive lounge and dining area provide a cosy space to gather for meals, while a viewing deck offers the perfect spot to enjoy private sundowners. The en-suite bathrooms feature outdoor showers that enhance your cleansing experience by immersing you in the glorious sights and sounds of nature, where the scent of soap mingles with the freshness of the open air.
Slow afternoons beckon you to lounge by the pool or wait with bated breath at the viewing hide, ready for the perfect photo opportunity. In-house spa treatments offer a reprieve for your aching muscles after a morning spent exploring the expanse of the reserve, while a splash pool cools you off from the summer heat. An open bar and lounge area lead you to a teak viewing deck, inviting a seamless migration between indoor comforts without missing out on the majestic views as animals quietly cross the plains to visit the watering hole.
The lodge is solar-powered and offers Wi-Fi in the main lodge area. Free laundry services (weather dependent) add a practical touch that will ease your stay.

Your morning safaris often culminate in coffee and biscuits, enjoyed in a clearing surrounded by untamed wilderness, with a heartier breakfast served upon your return. A delicious midday lunch can be enjoyed indoors or, weather permitting, alfresco overlooking the watering hole. As the day draws to a close, you're invited to dine in a sandy clearing next to the cosy fire pit, sinking your teeth into a delectable evening meal surrounded by vast plains, complemented by the chatter of fellow guests.
After spending time in Hwange National Park, I knew it would be good—but it exceeded even my highest expectations. It's not that it's an underdog, but rather a hidden gem that deserves far more recognition. There's something about the combination of Zimbabwe's exceptional guides, the sheer size of the park, and its incredible game density and diversity that makes it stand out. Yet, despite all this, Hwange still feels like a true wilderness—untouched, cared for, and completely unpretentious. It's the kind of place that just gets under your skin in the best way. Bomani isn't overly fancy or frilly, but it's warm, genuine, and effortlessly immersive. It makes you feel like you're truly on safari—connected to the wilderness—while still offering all the necessary comforts, plus a few thoughtful extras that elevate the experience.
