The Hide takes its name from the below-ground viewing hide built at its waterhole’s edge, a long-established camp in Hwange’s Ngamo Forest area known for genuinely close, ground-level wildlife encounters.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Canvas tents set among teak woodland, each with a private veranda, furnished in a classic, comfortable safari style.
Food & Service
Zimbabwean and international dishes served communally, with the camp’s small scale encouraging a genuinely personal atmosphere.
Activities
Game drives across Hwange’s Ngamo concession, walking safaris, and time spent in the underground hide watching wildlife at the waterhole’s edge.
Wildlife & Photography
Hwange’s elephant, buffalo, and predator populations converge on the concession’s waterholes, with the camp’s underground hide offering an unusually intimate vantage point.
A Photographer's Note
The underground hide puts the camera at water level with animals drinking just metres away, a genuinely rare perspective in African safari photography.
Conservation & Impact
The camp supports Hwange’s waterhole pumping infrastructure, essential to sustaining wildlife through the park’s long dry season.
