..."A Wilderness of Granite"
The natural granite domes and castle kopjies of the Matobo Hills, Zimbabwe are among some of the most majestic rock sceneries in the World. Nestled in this unique range of hills is Amalinda Lodge. Tucked away into an ancient bushman's shelter, Camp Amalinda's charm will leave an indelible impression on every visitor.
Accommodation:
Amalinda Lodge consists of 8 individually thatched suites, including a romantic honeymoon suite, which are all carved into the huge boulders. Each have en suite facilities and a unique character. The lounge and entertainment area are tucked away into a bushman shelter with a panoramic view of the Matobo Hills. Delicious meals are served on a massive teak table in the open air dining room.
A cozy library contains some of the old 'African classics',
