The lodge sits in the Ngamo forest area and operates its own gate into the park, five minutes by vehicle from the main camp. Imvelo Safari Lodges founded the property to bring visitors into a remote corner of the park where elephant herds number in the hundreds and the landscape remains largely unvisited. The main lodge overlooks Bomani Pan from a raised viewing platform, with an open dining room, bar, and lounge facing the water. Zebra and wildebeest graze at the pan throughout the day; giraffe and elephant arrive in the late afternoon. Eleven tents are divided between raised Saddlebill units on teak platforms and ground-level Spurwing tents overlooking the lodge waterhole, plus a two-bedroom Sable Suite set among camelthorn trees and a thatched family bungalow. Tents range from 45 to 70 square metres and include en-suite bathrooms with showers, overhead fans, and private decks or patios.

A sunken hide at Stoffie's Pan allows eye-level photography of elephants drinking metres away. The Imvelo Ngamo Rhino Sanctuary protects white rhino on the reserve; guests walk with Cobra Rangers to track the animals on foot. Village visits to nearby Ngunyana include school tours and unscripted homestead stops with the village headman. The Elephant Express — a custom-built railcar — runs along the historic eastern boundary of Hwange, opened in 1904, carrying guests between Bomani and other Imvelo lodges with game viewing from teak-fitted carriages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- plk-tmpl-cb 2026-07-31T09:42:05.742Z --\u003e","brand":"phasec-create","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808527286331,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/28575_2F5._imvelo_safari_lodges_-_bomani_tented_lodge_-_main_lodge.jpg?v=1784350834"},{"product_id":"african-bush-camps-somalisa-camp-hwange-national-park-zimbabwe","title":"African Bush Camps Somalisa Camp","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomalisa Camp sits inside the Somalisa Concession in Hwange National Park, a park that holds some of the densest and most varied wildlife in southern Africa.

Each villa has a king or twin bed, a fireplace, a mini bar and an outdoor deck reached by a spiral stair. Four have plunge pools upstairs; the rest have them at ground level. It is a compact stay.

From inside, elephants appear at eye level against the sky, close enough that even inexperienced photographers come away with strong shots. Days run on game drives and walks led by licensed guides, with night drives back at the lodge grounds to watch for nocturnal animals, and lion calls sometimes carry across the estate after dark. Guests can also ride the lodge's own rail car, the Elephant Express, between camps in southern Hwange, or visit a nearby rhino sanctuary on foot with armed trackers.
