The water hole in front of camp gets tons of action and the surrounding game is excellent. We are excited that newly renovated Little Makalolo and Hwange's wildlife have hung on to their allure over the years to now be firm Mango favorties. We love to combine this with a safari stop in palces like Mana Pools or the Okvango Delta.

Little Makalolo lies in the heart of one of the best game viewing areas in Hwange National Park. Overlooking a vibrant waterhole, it offers privacy for guests who enjoy small camps and a sense of remoteness. The camp's six traditional-style tents – including a family unit – are spacious and en-suite, with indoor and outdoor showers. Solar power is used for tent lights and to heat water, ensuring a lighter environmental footprint.
Linking the tents to the main area are teak walkways. Here a false mopane tree in the centre of the camp shades a separate dining and living area with an open fire deck for those convivial evening fireside tales under the stars. A raised pool deck, which also shelters the bar and breakfast ‘room’, offers evocative views of the much-frequented waterhole in front of camp.
The camp overlooks a small waterhole and guests can enjoy game viewing during the siesta hours from a tree house hide. Activities at Little Makalolo center on game viewing in open 4x4 vehicles throughout the Makalolo concession area, as well as walks with expert guides. The highlight here is the large open plains where one can see large quantities of animals. Makalolo is one of the best areas for seeing impressive herds of buffalo and elephant as well as apex predators such as lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah. Summer game viewing is excellent on the plains and in winter water holes can get up a thousand elephants visiting in a good day.
