Our Lodge focus this month is on Khulu Bush Camp, a luxury safari lodge in Hwange National Park.

Khulu Bush Camp is part of the Amalinda Safari Collection that consists of four luxury safari camps and lodges set in the remote wilderness areas of Hwange National Park and the Matopos National Park. Khulu Bush Camp is the smaller camp of the lot and a tribute to Cedric Wilde, one of the Directors of the Amalinda Safari Collection, who it is named after. Khulu is the community and staff’s affectionate name for Cedric and it means ‘grandfather’.

The camp also boasts a firepit, which is at ground level and closer to the waterhole, so a great spot from which to enjoy wildlife viewing and birdwatching.
