Activities

The team at The Hide are dedicated to making your stay the trip of a lifetime. Because The Hide is situated on its own private concession the range of activities offered is wider and more exciting. There is no limit to the number of activities you can do, the hardest part will be choosing how to spend your time.

Game Drives

The Hide Game Drive Game drives are the best way to see the variety of wildlife and scenery of the park and they almost always yield unexpected sightings. The Hide team have a fleet of specially designed safari vehicles and in the expert hands of their guides, you’ll find yourself heading out through the acacia-fringed grassy vleis and through the teak forests in search of Hwange’s Big Five.

 

Bush Walks

The Hide Activities - Bush WalksEncountering big game on foot is the ultimate thrill, safe in the knowledge that there is a trained, armed guide on hand to look out for you. Walking gives you a completely different experience of wildlife and the bush and its just nice sometimes to get out there and stretch your legs in a place that is so uncontrived, beautiful, wild and vast. Somehow your senses are heightened when on foot and you see, hear and smell things that you would miss in a vehicle. Walking is also the best way to appreciate the small magic of the bush.

Birding

The park has a notable bird population with over 400 species recorded to date; the variety is truly astonishing. Morning, afternoon and evening/night drives will normally head out for 2-3 hours through a variety of eco-systems and habitats.

 

 

The Waterhole Hideaways 

The Hide Activities - Waterhole HideawaysHides are very much part of safari tradition. Essentially, the concept is to disguise a little safe room as a termite mound or other piece of the natural landscape and slip inside via the back door. There are two hides at The Hide! The first is a little way away from the camp and a guide will accompany you there and ensure you are comfortable as you watch the wildlife unseen. Guests can also make little independent forays into the underground hide from camp, which emerges on the edge of the waterhole, giving you a startlingly up-close view of this incredible micro-world.
