"Somalisa Expeditions review"
We felt very at home and loved our stylish tented rooms Excellent food and guiding service
We really liked the design and layout of Somalisa with the open fire and pool looking out onto the open area in front with even occasional animals wandering past" See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 5n in Zimbabwe

"Somalisa Expeditions safari experience "
This was a more “glamorous” camp setting, which made it feel a little less like we were out in the bush. We enjoyed it, but it felt less “wild” and more zoo like, as the animals seemed very used to viewers.
That being said, we saw a ton of animals. And beautiful birds! Got to see a pride of lions (14, including four cubs) finish eating a zebra, and elephants upon elephants, right outside our tent and at the watering holes." See all these reviews: 8n in Zimbabwe

Star and her team made us feel so very at home and their energy was always so warm and welcoming.
It feels like more of a larger organisation the other two camps we stayed in.
The food here was really excellent !" See all these reviews: 12n in Zimbabwe

This end of Hwange has different habitat to Camp Hwange, as ever with loads of elephant but the lion pride was the main attraction - we saw 10 lion together on our first sighting!
The whole team was very friendly and enthusiastic about their guests. Star was a great host and we had fabulous guiding by Mike Tsoka who has an incredible depth of knowledge. “We love it! “
We would recommend a few days at Expeditions." See all these reviews: 9n in Zimbabwe

The location is brilliant for seeing such a variety of animals, elephants, zebra, giraffe, either outside of your tent or nearby waterhole.
Food superb, guides very knowledgeable and the whole stay well organised and ensured I had the most amazing safari experience" See all these reviews: 8n in Zimbabwe
