The Makalolo area is ecologically diverse, including vast, open, palm-fringed plains, grasslands, acacia woodlands, and teak forests. This ensures a varied food "pantry" which feeds great numbers of animals year round.  Makalolo is made up of two small camps which have exclusive use of a massive concession area within Hwange National Park. Little Makalolo is the "sister" camp to Makalolo Plains Camp.  Located about 20 minutes' drive away from Makalolo Plains, it is independently run, with its own staff, management and guides.  Little Makalolo is built on the ground among teak trees looking towards a waterhole and pan which is about 100m away from camp.  There is a hide in front of the camp which gives great views onto the waterhole.     WILDLIFE Summer sees the large antelope herds migrate onto the plains, closely followed by their predators.  Elephants, buffalo, sable, roan, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and sometimes even gemsbok can be seen here.  The area is one of the best for predators - lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah are regularly sighted, along with the smaller African wild cat, serval, honey badger, civet and hyena.  The area has a number of waterholes which attract game in large concentrations, especially during the winter months.  Guests can sit at a waterhole and watch the passing parade of animals as they come to quench their thirst.  For the bird watcher, Makalolo offers a wonderful range of birding, from Miombo species right through to the Kalahari species.        FACILITIES  The dining room and lounge area are under one large tent.  There is a pool.     No. of Bedrooms There are five tented rooms, each with bathroom facilities en suite.  There is also an outside shower for those who want to enjoy the stars while showering.   Activities The main activities are the game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers.  Walks with an experienced and armed guide are a highlight for those who want to experience Africa at close quarters.
