Zimbabwe

The Hide

PLAN MY TRIP

A classic African safari camp, The Hide is located on the eastern border of the Hwange National Park and overlooks of the busiest watering holes in the area.

The camp features ten deluxe tents and two luxury tents, two of which are known as the Honeymoon Tents because they include a romantic outdoor bath as well as two unique “hide” suites. Each tent comes with two twin beds or a double bed. The tent’s en-suite bathroom features an outdoor shower and/or a large, soaking bathtub. Tom’s Little Hide has two double en suite bedrooms linked by a dining room and outside veranda, complete with sparkling splash pool. The third room is more of a family tent with an outside bathroom and inter-leading children’s room, which can accommodate two children. The Private Hide has two en suite deluxe tents. Each hide room comes with a private safari vehicle and guide.

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest and most popular national park. The Park is located between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls and is most famous as a home to 30,000 elephants, although countless other animal species inhabit this rich panorama of acacia woodland and sands. The vegetation across the park vary hugely, ranging from the semi desert scrub on the edge of the Kalahari in the south, to forests, granite hills, and valleys of mopane woodlands in the north. There is an abundance of wildlife found in the park year-round including lion, buffalo, cheetah leopard, spotted hyena, cheetah, giraffe, sable, roan, blue wildebeest, impala, waterbuck and reedbuck.

Game drives are conducted in open Land Rovers by expert guides and trackers through Hwange. Morning walking safaris led by a knowledgeable guide are the best way to see the landscape in detail and view any smaller flora or fauna missed by the vehicles. Night drives discover the nocturnal world of lesser bush baby, spotted hyena, leopard, lion, caracal, porcupine, scrub hare, springhare, and even honey badger. For those guests who wish to sleep under the stars, the Dove’s Nest fulfills that wish with a treehouse bedroom reached by a wooden stairway and with a closeable door high above a tree-line vlei.

At the heart of the camp, a majestic A-frame where the main area houses two dining rooms, a sun lounge, and viewing decks overlooking the waterhole. From the deck, guests can take the stairs down to the underground hide to watch the wildlife close up. There is also an underground wine cellar with an abundance of fine vintages. The camp also has a refreshing pool for escaping the afternoon heat.
