We look forward to sharing with you our passion for these amazing hills.
The granite domes and castle kopjes of the Matobo Hills, Zimbabwe, are among the most majestic rock sceneries in the world. Nestled in this unique range of hills is Camp Amalinda.
Amalinda consists of nine individually thatched rooms including 2 honeymoon suites, which are set into the huge boulders. These 2 suites have just recently been refurbished and it brings us great pleasure to introduce to you for the first time “The Lobengula Suite” and “The Rhodes Suite”. Each are steeped in African historical artefacts of a bygone era from these two famous men who once walked around these very rocks.
Tucked away into an ancient bushman’s shelter, Camp Amalinda’s charm will leave an indelible impression on every visitor, it’s spirituality almost tangible.
Some of the most majestic granite scenery in the world is found in the Matobo Hills. It is here that the hopes, trials and tribulations of the San Bushmen are recorded in the ancient rock art.
 The lounge and entertainment area is 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 cosy library contains some of the old “African Classics”, whilst a secluded chess room, located amongst the tree tops guarantees peace and tranquillity. For the wine connoisseur, we recommend a visit to our natural cave wine cellar. Sundowners can be enjoyed around a warm fire in the enclosed “boma” area.
At the base of the camp is a large swimming pool with comfortable loungers and a bar, all over-looking a waterhole.
Amongst this most miraculous backdrop, which is famous to the Matobo Hills, is an irresistible treasure worth experiencing – situated near the pool is our Heritage Spa.
Drift away on crisp linen, whilst the scents of Ancient African aromas swirl under the canopy of thatch and rock. Drops of aromatherapy oils are added to generous amounts of carrot and nut oil for that exclusive and private massage by our expert in-house Masseuse.
Spoil yourself with a full Body Massage, Back and neck Massage, Manicure or Pedicure.
We are in a malaria free zone and children are most welcome. Children can spend their days rock climbing and chasing rock lizards, skinks and Giant Plated Lizards.
Our friendly staff are on hand to cater to your every need and together with them, we extend to you our warmest welcome.
