Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

About Bomani Tented Lodge

Nestled within a 5,000-acre private concession on the edge of Hwange National Park’s legendary Ngamo Plains, Bomani Tented Lodge offers a front-row seat to one of Zimbabwe’s most vibrant wilderness areas. The lodge overlooks a prolific waterhole that draws consistent wildlife traffic, from massive elephant herds to prowling predators, providing guests with an immersive safari experience right from their doorstep. Access to the lodge is an adventure in itself, often involving a journey on the Elephant Express—a unique rail car that traverses the park’s eastern boundary. The accommodation at Bomani strikes a balance between rustic charm and modern comfort, featuring a mix of elevated Saddlebill tents on teak platforms and ground-level Spurwing suites. The main lodge area, a magnificent open-air thatched structure, serves as the heart of the camp, housing a cozy lounge, bar, and dining room that look out over the plains. Beyond the traditional game drives and walking safaris, Bomani is deeply committed to community-led conservation, offering guests the chance to visit local schools and villages to see firsthand the positive impact of ethical tourism in the region.
