Situated on the outskirts of Zimbabwe's largest game reserve (Hwange National Park), Khulu Bush Camp is an exclusive safari camp that forms part of the prestigious Amalinda Collection. Its built alongside an ancient river bed and overlooks an active watering hole, where herds of buffalo and elephant frequently gather. Hwange National Park is known for its high concentration of wildlife, which makes the game drives and bush walks offered by Khulu, particularly special. Post-dinner evening entertainment usually comes in the form of large herds of elephant and buffalo dazzling guests around the watering hole.
Khulu Bush Camp's main area is built on an elevated wooden deck and comprises of a dining area, library, bar and lounge. It overlooks a watering hole, which is often frequented by elephants, predators and plains-game species. Dinner is served at an antique railway teak table or around the fireside boma from where you can see night activity around the floodlit watering hole. On the deck is a splash pool for those hot African days. If you're lucky, elephants sometimes stop by for a slurp of water.
Khulu boasts six elevated thatched tree-house style rooms and one honeymoon suite. All rooms have their own private balconies, which offer beautiful views of an active waterhole where you may spot buffalo or big cats (or both!). Each double room is tastefully decorated in natural-and-white tones and finished in rich textures of timber and copper. Rooms are all en-suite (some with large bathtubs) and come with hot and cold water. Children are welcomed and rooms come equipped with mosquito nets.
Morning and late-afternoon game-drives through the Hwange National Park are led by licensed guides. These specialty drives allow you to cover long distances and see a wide range of game. Popular guided bush walks are also offered and bring you close to small and large creatures, including cats, buffalo and elephant. These excursions usually last between 2 and 5 hours.
Feeling so unbelievably close to nature – you may even be joined by elephants coming for a drink at the pool.
On request, staff members can arrange visits to a rural school and clinic for those interested in the cultural aspect of the area.
The camp is unfenced and it’s important to remain vigilant when moving around in case a few beasties have wandered close by.
