Ngamo Forest / Ngamo Plains

Ngamo Forest and Ngamo Plains are important wildlife areas in the southeastern part of Hwange, Zimbabwe, around the southeastern edge of Hwange National Park. They are closely associated geographically but are not exactly the same landscape.





Ngamo Plains is a broad, open grassland/vlei landscape famous for wildlife, particularly large elephant herds. It lies on the southeastern side of Hwange National Park and is one of the area's notable safari landscapes. Imvelo describes Bomani as being on a private concession of the Ngamo Plains, at the edge of the southeastern corner of the park.





Ngamo Forest, by contrast, is the more wooded habitat surrounding parts of the plains. The Bomani Tented Camp private concession is specifically described as a 5,000-acre area within the Ngamo Forest, immediately adjacent to Hwange National Park and near Ngamo Gate.
