Camp Amalinda

Camp Amalinda is nestled in the granite domes and castle kopjes of the Matobo Hills, amongst some of the most majestic rock scenery in the world.




Amalinda consists of nine individually thatched rooms including two honeymoon suites, which are set into the huge boulders. Each is steeped in African historical artefacts of a bygone era.



Tucked away into an ancient Bushman’s shelter, with a panoramic view of the Matobo Hills, Camp Amalinda’s charm will leave an indelible impression on every visitor. In the central area a cosy library contains some of the old “Africa Classics”, whilst a secluded chess room located amongst the tree tops guarantees peace and tranquillity. Delicious meals are served on a massive teak table in the open-air dining room. A natural cave wine cellar will appeal to the wine connoisseur. Sundowners can be enjoyed around the fire in the enclosed “boma” area.



At the base of the camp is a large swimming pool with comfortable loungers and a bar, all overlooking a waterhole. Guests can enjoy a private massage at the camp’s Heritage Spa.



Activities include game viewing by vehicle or on foot. Track the “horn of sorrow” as they have become known – the endangered black rhino. Drive through the granite hills in the footsteps of Cecil John Rhodes and visit his world famous tomb known as “World’s View”. It is also possible to take a tour to an African homestead and get down to earth with the local Matabele people, visiting their “pole and dagga” huts, the rural clinic and the local primary school.
