Wilderness and many other donors actively work together to support local communities living in Hwange National Park. Over the years, numerous projects have been implemented, including building hospitals, schools and libraries, as well as organizing training courses for teachers and nurses.
In 2008, a key project was launched that guarantees every child in the five local schools one meal a day for the duration of the school year. Nutrition and education are just some of the initiatives supporting communities to improve living conditions and promote sustainable development in the region. These efforts not only enrich the lives of those involved, but also strengthen the link between tourism and the community, contributing to a better future for all.
Wilderness Little Makalolo is in the heart of Hwange National Park, one of the best safari destinations in Zimbabwe. This park, renowned for its abundance of wildlife and numerous waterholes, guarantees spectacular sightings throughout the year. One of the waterholes is located right in front of the camp, allowing guests to observe elephant, buffalo, zebra and many other species watering up close without even leaving the lodge. Common areas, such as the restaurant and lounge, offer panoramic views of the waterhole, giving guests the opportunity to witness magical moments of animal interaction at all times of the day.
The lodge has only six exclusive tents, tastefully furnished and equipped with all modern amenities to ensure a luxurious, immersive experience in nature. The tents are connected by wooden walkways to the central area, which houses the restaurant, a fine bar, and a swimming pool where guests can relax after a day of exploring. The staff at Wilderness Little Makalolo is highly attentive and customizes every aspect of the stay to ensure that each guest has an unforgettable experience. At sunset, you can gather around the campfire for an aperitif or enjoy a delicious brunch overlooking the waterhole.
Activities include dawn and dusk safaris, led by experienced rangers, which offer the chance to observe local wildlife while respecting the environment. In addition, the lodge organizes visits to surrounding villages, allowing guests to discover the local culture and interact with local communities. Wilderness Little Makalolo places great emphasis on environmental sustainability, allowing travellers to experience a responsible safari, in harmony with the local nature and culture.
