Imvelo lodges both inside and bordering Hwange National Park are all remote and isolated with a small, dedicated staff who live on site. The lodge living areas are all open-sided, and the rooms themselves also celebrate the outdoors with wide windows, large outdoor decks and plenty of space and privacy between each tent.

Game viewing vehicles are also fully open-topped for ease of game viewing and photography, allowing the sights, sounds and smells of the wild to fill your senses. The camps provide the perfect social distancing set up but put you in the heart of the action with all the Hwange wildlife through our dramatic locations and varied experiential activities on offer.

The wildlife this season has been exceptional - Nehimba is as a bustling, energetic animal intersection - teeming with wildlife traffic of all species. Bomani's location is breathtaking - the Ngamo Plains that stretch as far as the eye can see, allows for a full sensory experience - capturing images as well as the sounds, smells, mannerisms and group dynamics of all the wildlife that pass through camp!

Night drives are a favourite activities at both Bomani and Nehimba! The African savanna presents a whole different safari experience to daytime. Being on private concessions allows the extra flexibility to enjoy these after dark experiences but also the ability to mobilise quickly if lions are heard before sunrise or after dark! If guests are up for it, they will often get a knock to come for a midnight adventure!
The newest cubs from the resident pride near Nehimba
Typically up to four cubs will be born to a mother at any time of year – she will leave the pride and give birth in a sheltered spot, moving her new family every few days to avoid attracting predators, and eventually rejoining the pride after about seven weeks. Horse, the matriarchal mother of the new cubs is doing an excellent job keeping these little ones safe and well looked after.
