Khulu Lodge

The beauty of this camp is that it combines luxurious and private accommodation with old world hospitality.

Khulu himself:

Khulu Ivory is a tribute to Cedric Wilde one of the Directors of the Amalinda Collection, who it is named after. Khulu is the community and staff's affectionate name for Cedric and it means 'grandfather'. Cedric is third generation Zimbabwean and came to Hwange in 2002 when, due to the politics in Zimbabwe, he lost his farm. Cedric's talent and indeed passion lie in the planning and creating of beautiful lodges and camps in wildlife and wilderness areas of this country. Having built the flagship of the collection Camp Amalinda some 23 years ago, it is not since then that he has designed and built a camp of this calibre. If you are lucky enough to be in camp with Khulu himself your evenings will be spent around the fire, talking of days gone by and strumming to old country tunes. Khulu Ivory is testament to the man amongst men that is Cedric Wilde.
