Luxury Camping Safaris in Africa (Part 4)

This is the final in our African series, visiting some of our lodges across the country. We work with more than 100 lodges in Africa, ensuring your safari meets your requirements. Luxury camping is a traditional part of a safari and here in Zimbabwe, the views will be breath-taking.

The Hide, Zimbabwe

The Hide offers a luxury safari camping experience with an emphasis on tremendous wildlife and Zimbabwean hospitality. Located within the Hwange National Park in an area once used as a hunting ground by Ndebele kings, the camp is situated alongside a waterhole where animals congregate to drink. In fact, if you don’t wish to venture far, you can relax at the camp and wait for the animals to come to you – wild dogs have even occasionally made their kill in full view of the camp! Alternatively you can sit quietly in the hide from which the camp takes its name and watch as the animals go
about their daily business.
