Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
-
Well-loved lodge
The Hide is an institution in Hwange. Having opened 30 years ago, it is still owner-run, and the benefit of decades of experience is evident.
Activities
The Hide’s activities are designed to make the most of its setting within Hwange National Park.
Game drives
Walking safaris
Dove’s Nest
-
Game drives are available during the morning, afternoon and night!
Walking safaris take place in the morning, enabling guests to get up and close to nature. The guiding here is truly exceptional and the many hideaways dotted around the concession often make for some very dramatic encounters!
We especially recommend spending time in Dove’s Nest. This is essentially a tree house, from which visitors may sight animals passing under the tree and birdlife hopping among its branches.
*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.
