Nestled on a sprawling 15,000-acre (6,070-hectare) private concession bordering Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, Khulu Bush Camp offers an exclusive and immersive safari experience. Committed to preserving the environment and supporting local communities, the camp prioritises sustainable tourism practices while ensuring minimal impact on the delicate ecosystem.
With a focus on personalised service, Khulu Bush Camp caters to a limited number of guests, allowing for an intimate and unforgettable safari adventure.

Imagine witnessing colossal herds of buffalo, majestic elephant, and a captivating array of predators in their natural habitat.
Named after Cedric Wilde, one of the Directors of the Amalinda Safari Collection, who is affectionately known as Khulu, meaning “grandfather” in the local community, guests can expect to be captivated by his enchanting tales and melodies shared around the campfire making for a warm and homely atmosphere. The lodge’s design seamlessly integrates with the surrounding environment, offering breathtaking views.
