Renowned for superb guiding and easy access to wildlife
Bomani is one of our favourite lodges in the beautiful Hwange National Park
Occupying an enviable location in a wildlife-rich private concession in the South-Eastern part of the Hwange National Park, Bomani is a real gem of a lodge and a particularly good choice for families looking to enjoy a safari in beautiful Zimbabwe.
There are 11 rooms of varying styles and layouts at the lodge, spread on either side of the spacious main area. We love the Spurwing Tents, not just for their comfort but also for the fact that they offer glorious views across to the lodge’s waterhole which draws wildlife from all around the area. All of the tents are very spacious and the family tent, with its two bedrooms and sprawling lounge area is able to accommodate up to 6 people. The main area is a large, open-fronted thatch building which houses the bar, lounge and dining area. A sparkling swimming pool with stunning views sits to one side of the main are and is the perfect spot to sit back, relax and soak up the sunshine, as well as enjoy some impromptu afternoon wildlife viewing. The food here is excellent and the staff will really go out of their way to ensure that your stay at Bomani is a memorable one.
Game drives are possible during the day and at night (being in a private concession has distinct advantages), whilst walks, afternoons in the game viewing hide and visits to local schools and villages are all possible from this wonderful lodge.

January
January is an excellent time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives.
February
February is the best time for birders. The days are warm, with the risk of afternoon rain showers, but they clear as fast as they arrive.
March
If you want to witness Vic Falls at its fullest, March is the month to visit, with huge volumes of spray, it is perfect if you want to see the gorges and geology of the area.
April
The world famous Mana Pools re-open in April. The days feel fresher as the wet season ends leaving the landscapes looking lush green, making it perfect for walking safaris.
May
In May, the days continue to feel fresh and bright making it a perfect time to venture out on walking safaris.
June
June heralds the return of winter, nights turn colder and the temperature dips - take plenty of layers as the temperature can drop below freezing. It is the perfect time for photographers to explore Hwange National Park before the busy holiday period.
July
Winter temperatures continue into July so take plenty of layers. Much like June, it is perfect for photographers looking to view wildlife from a different angle.
August
If you want clear, bright blue skies and continuous wildlife sightings, August is the month for you. Camps are likely to be fuller, however, if you visit private concessions you can still experience exclusivity and no crowds.
September
Much like August, September is an amazing time for wildlife spotting and weather, in particular it is considered the best time of year to see elephant herds in Hwange National Park.
October
In October wildlife sightings are at their peak as the dry season ends. If you travel during this month you can experience hot days with temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees.
November
November is the best time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives. It is low season and one of the best times to go white water rafting at Vic Falls, the volume and speed of the water is reduced exposing the rapids.
December
In December the days are warm with the risk of rain showers mid afternoon. The rivers rise and dependant on water levels travellers can visit 'devils pool' at Vic Falls, providing high excitement and a head for heights needed if you want to get close to the drop off.
