Bomani Tented Lodge
Nestled within a 5,000 acre private reserve within the Ngamo Forest Area, on the edge of the south eastern corner of Hwange National Park, you will find Bomani Tented Lodge. This safari lodge offers guests an unrivalled safari experience with impressive year-round wildlife viewing and a great diversity of wildlife in substantial numbers, where highly experienced knowledgeable guides will treat you to a safari experience you will never forget.
This relaxed tented lodge is designed in a traditional safari style with a main common area with lounge, bar and dining area. A wooden decking area overlooks a waterhole, where wildlife come to drink. A splash pool set in a raised deck offers a refreshing welcome to the heat of the day and in-house spa treatments are available on request at an extra cost.
Guests have the opportunity to design their days, there is no set agenda here, game drives, guided walks, trips into Hwange National Park are all arranged during your stay or simply take time in camp to unwind and view the wildlife that comes to the waterhole.

Rachel resides on the vibrant West Coast of Canada, specifically on Vancouver Island. She has a profound love for travel, having explored nearly 30 countries. However, it was a solo journey to Africa that truly ignited her passion. Upon stepping foot in Botswana for the first time, Rachel was captivated and knew she needed to explore more of the continent. Since then, she has ventured solo to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, and Kenya, where she traveled with Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps.
It was during these experiences that Rachel realized her desire to be a part of the Gamewatchers team.
