The camp is located in an area of the park where there are just a few other camps. We saw at most 2 or three other vehicles parked nearby during game drives, and mostly we saw none or one other vehicle. Game viewing and birds were outstanding, even in camp. Camp is a great example of low impact land use... More

Little Mak was our second stop on our October 2011 trip to Zimbabwe after Ruckomechi Camp (separate review) in Mana Pools. It was a hard act to follow but we were excited to see what Hwange and Little Makalolo had to offer after such a positive experience. We really loved everything about our time in Hwange so i'll attempt to... More

We couldn't have had a better trip. We even saw a pride of lions kill a buffalo. Can't get better than that! Staff was great. Food spectacular. Rooms wonderful. Need I say more?

We recently visited Little Makalolo camp and had a wonderful time. From the warm welcome by camp staff (not only initially, but after each game drive) to the fantastic food, to the great game viewing, to the beautiful accomodations, Little Makalolo made our trip to southern Africa well worth while and one we would like to repeat. Wildnerness Safaris, which... More

Hwange National Park is one of the most beautiful places one could ever wish to see. Truly an amazing experience and we were blessed to be able to stay at Little Makalolo. It is a tiny tented camp, just 6 tents but they are a good size, comfortable and well decorated - all are solar powered. The staff working there... More

A 45mins flight from Vic Falls literally drops you in the middle of nowhere (200Km from the nearest town), to be met by a smiling guide and a comfortable Land Rover ( used for game drives) takes you to Camp past zebra, elephants and hippos at the water hole and lots of other birds and animals too. Arrive at the... More

Unfortunately we were only there for 2 nights, but we still managed to see Ellies under every tree and on every blade of grass - as well as Lions and Leopard and the majestic sable. The camp is run excellently by Ranya and the tents are extremely comfortable with very large bathroom areas, incl outdoor showers which are great fun.... More

We visited Little Mack during a major cold spell. The tents are luxurious, but 35 degrees is cold! The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. In fact, the staff makes this little game camp a first-class place to stay. The managers meet every need and the guides are extremely knowledgeable about the animals and birds. We... More

If you really want to get down to nature, this is it! Vast plains filled with game and Miombo forests that let you feel that you were lost in a jungle. The camp is down to earth, but luxurious. Food was very good, if you keep in mind that Zim is a poor country and have to source products from... More
