Hwange Water Supply project:

During the dry season, water sources become scarce and Hwange has some 57 boreholes to pump water from deep underground to sustain the wildlife in the area. Makalolo & her neighbouring concessions have drilled and supplied engines, piping and the pumps on 18 of the 57 operational boreholes in the entire Park. Since February 2002, they have taken on responsibility for pumping 22 boreholes 24 hours a day, thereby supporting the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Management both logistically and financially. This includes daily refuelling and maintenance and a full oil and filter change every 250 hours.

Hwange Anti-Poaching project & White Rhino reintroduction project:

Makalolo has also joined the National Park in jointly combating the effects of poaching along the Park's southern boundary, an area beyond thier concession. Along the reserve boundary itself and also in the community areas beyond it, a large variety of mammal species fall victim to snaring, with larger species such as elephant and buffalo breaking free of their wire nooses and heading back to the refuge of the Park. Funding and logistical support is provided in the form of transport, fuel and rations to the anti-poaching units of the National Park.

Even white rhino appear to be increasing and in order to bolster and ensure this trend another joint project with the Zimbabwe Department of National Parks has successfully trans located a substantial breeding nucleus of the species into this area of Hwange. The first five animals arrived in July 2007

The diversity of game within the park is both varied and relatively compact which results in rich viewing from the moment you set foot (or wheel) out from the camp. In fact, the viewing from the lounge, dining area, or your private decking makes Makalolo the perfect place for guests to enjoy the unspoilt plains of the Hwange National Park at whatever pace they so wish to explore.

An excellent camp for reliable game viewing all year around.
