Camp Amalinda offers a range of varied activities:

• Game viewing by vehicle or on foot. Track the “horn of sorrow” as they have become known – the endangered black rhino. White rhino are easier to see in these parts and our experienced guide will take you safely there.

• Explore the hills where mysterious nomads once held their sacred ceremonies. The rocky granite topography boasts more than 2000 sites of the San (Bushman) tribes and is probably the richest source of San rock art known. This area and several famous rocks here (known to all our local Ndebele people) hold spiritual significance of bygone rituals. Today, you can learn all about their trials and tribulations.

• Drive through the granite hills in the footsteps of Cecil John Rhodes. Visit his world famous tomb known as the “View of the World”, it’s an experience guaranteed to send a thrill down your spine. Leander Starr Jameson is also buried there and together with the spirits of hundreds of soldiers; killed in battle with the Matabele warriors, gather around at sunset. It has become known as “the dwelling place of spirits” or rather “Amalindidzimu” as the locals call it. The view will leave you gasping…….

• The stories of Rhodes wanderings and dealings with Chief Lobengula will keep you entranced for hours. The man was so revered by the Queen, that even a country was named after him – Rhodesia. The Matabele will tell a tale about Rhodes deceit in his dealings with King Lobengula and his father, Mzilikazi.

• Take a tour to an African homestead and get down to earth with the local Matabele people. Enjoy their gracious hospitality as they show you around their “pole and dagga” huts. Then move on to the rural clinic and come face to face with a Traditional Healer. With the offer of a few Zim dollars, she may even heal your ailment. The primary school which we move on to next will bring you to understand that no matter what adversity children face, one of their basic wants is to learn. The school is sponsored by us and by our guests staying at Camp Amalinda. Many projects at the school and clinic have been completed through generous funding that has been channeled through us.

• Relax by our specially designed rock pool, which overlooks the waterhole whilst sipping on a cocktail. Indulge yourself in a full body massage or simply soak up the sun and the environment – the majestic Black Eagles will spy on you from above.

• Walking on our property is entirely safe – you could bump into warthog, zebra, klipspringer, kudu, impala, wildebeest, reedbuck, duiker, steenbok, hyrax and a vast variety of bird life. Watch out for the exclusive leopard, although he’ll see you first
