Little Makalolo is an intimate, eco-friendly safari camp located in the heart of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. The camp overlooks a busy waterhole, offering guests excellent opportunities for game viewing directly from the lodge and is renowned for its secluded setting and exclusive atmosphere.
Little Makalolo has six luxury tented suites, each with en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, and private verandas where guests can relax and enjoy views of the surrounding bush and wildlife. The camp’s main area includes a cozy lounge, dining space, and plunge pool, all designed to blend with the natural environment while providing comfort and modern amenities. Game drives, walking safaris, and night drives allow guests to explore the park’s diverse landscapes and encounter its rich wildlife.
Hwange National Park is famous for its large elephant herds, as well as lions, leopards and a wider variety of plains game.
One of the highlights of the camp is the nearby "log-pile hide," an innovative viewing spot that allows guests to observe wildlife up close, especially elephants that come to drink at the waterhole. Little Makalolo is also deeply committed to sustainability, operating on solar power and supporting local conservation initiatives. It offers an exclusive, eco-conscious safari experience in Zimbabwe’s premier wildlife destination.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Onsite photographic hide
- Quiet, remote setting within Hwange National Park
- Star bed experiences

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
