 Deep in the mystical teak forests of Hwange, is this unobtrusive camp. It is here that great herds of elephants are found, sometimes over 100 strong.
 You will have the opportunity to take part in daily game drives and guided walks, as well as ample time to relax at the lodge and enjoy being in such stunning and restful surroundings.

This unique camp is nestled amongst the granite domes and castle kopjes of the Matobo Hills, which are among the most majestic rock sceneries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Amalinda consists of 9 individually thatched rooms including 3 honeymoon suites, 3 family rooms, 2 double rooms & 1 single room, which are all set into the huge boulders.
