Highlights
What We Love
- Watching breeding herds of elephant drink right up at the deck
- All tents have a view of the productive waterhole for armchair safaris
- Part of a significant private concession in Hwange National Park
When To Visit
Peak Season: May to October
Hwange’s summer rains cease and huge elephant herds gather at remaining water sources.
Green Season: November to April
The dust is washed away and the landscape springs back to life at this beautiful time of year.
Overview
Zimbabwe has one of the biggest elephant populations in Africa, with sightings of up to a thousand a day not unheard of. Being in a 17 600 hectare private concession in Hwange National Park means Nehimba is well placed to make the most of passing pachyderms – its deck is famous for having breeding families press right up against it!
The lodge is near the Nehimba seeps, an ancient source of underground water for villagers and wildlife alike and the nearby Manduva Dam is considered a birder’s paradise. Classic tents are constructed from canvas, thatch and teak and all have vistas of the popular waterhole – you could forego game drives altogether and just stay on your deck for the day!
