Luxurious accommodation, old world hospitality and incredible wildlife.
Located in a private concession in the northern area of Hwange National Park, Khulu camp is an ideal place to experience the timeless beauty of the Zimbabwe's bush. Situated beside an ancient river bed, guests can view Hwange’s amazing wildlife from their own rooms. The easiest way to access Khulu Bush Camp is via road transfer. Children aged twelve years or over are allowed to stay at the camp.
Khulu Camp has six tents, comprising of four standard rooms and two suites. Each guest tent can be made into either a twin-bed or a king sized room, each with two wash basins, indoor and outdoor showers, mini bars and coffee machines. No matter where you stay in camp, you'll have an amazing view of the surrounding landscapes from the comfort of your room. Main areas include a swimming pool, fire pit, a comfortable lounge and a long dining table for communal dining and sharing stories about your safari adventures.
Activities include heading out on bush walks, a brilliant opportunity to see Hwange’s diverse wildlife up close. The camp also offers game drives in the mornings and afternoons, with the last drive of the day often ending after nightfall. Elephant herds, wild dogs and hyenas are common sights. Alternatively, you can let the animals come to you by spending time in the nearby pan or wildlife hide. Khula Camp organises trips to the local village, Dete, where guests can visit a school and a medical clinic and learn more about the culture of this area.

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.
