Introduction

The Hide is located in a private concession inside the boundaries of the Hwange National Park, one of Africa's premier game parks and Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve. The lodge offers privacy and exclusivity in a wildlife haven. The lodge is famous for its many concealed hides near the waterholes, offering guests the unique opportunity of viewing game in close proximity. The Hide offers guests a safari experience that combines the best game viewing in Zimbabwe in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere; a combination that has earned the camp the vote for “Best Safari Camp in Zimbabwe” more than once.

Camp Description

The camp is small and intimate and can accommodate a maximum of 16 guests. The tents are tastefully decorated and offer guests complete comfort in the bush. Each tent has its own en-suite bathroom, consisting of hot water showers, basins and flush toilets. Each tent has its own private verandah overlooking a waterhole offering unhindered game viewing. A choice of twin and double beds are available. The camp is unfenced from the vlei that runs past it which allows animals to roam freely.
