-
Due to its superb setting within the national park, Nehimba is able to offer exceptionally good game drives and guided walks.
All Big Five animals roam Hwange, in addition to over a hundred species of mammal and almost four hundred species of bird! It is not uncommon for guests to spot cheetah, giraffe, zebra, and many types of antelope.
Night drives are also available, revealing such wildlife as civet, hyena and porcupine. Nehimba has its own hide, close to the waterhole for great photo opportunities. And guests are encouraged to visit Nehimba Seep, after which the lodge is named, a conservation area that is one of Hwange’s very few year-round water sources.
Elephant love it here! Mandavu Dam and Mtoa Ruins make for interesting excursions too.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
