Stayed there with family and friends for two nights over New Year. This is a great place if you want to spend time in the bush AND enjoy the luxury of a 5* hotel, 3 course meals, good South African wines, bush shower (depending which tent you are in even bath tub) etc. included
The staff is extremely attentive and friendly and the rangers are, as usual in Zimbabwe, in a class by themselves. A bush walk (minimum age 16) with one of the rangers has been one of my most educating moments in many years in Africa.
Choose the timing of your stay well: during the wet season the game disperses all over Hwange and the artificial water hole in front of the camp may attract no animals at all!

Our 7 night stay at The Hide in the Honeymoon tent (tent 4) was a highlight of our honeymoon. The service and attention to detail was fantastic, from the champagne in our outside bath tub (outside shower too), to the amazing 3 course meals, welcome & goodbye notes, laundry, afternoon teas, wake-up call teas & coffees, pool-side drinks overlooking the pan (the rooms also overlook the pan) & great game drives with sundowner drinks and snacks & morning walks with Daffy, surprise dinner for 2 upstairs & surprise birthday lunch on the platform of the Dove's Nest overlooking the vlei. We met some great people, ticked off a number of birds, & among others saw wild dogs, lions with cubs, caracal, civet, elephant, buffalo & sable. The conservancy on which The Hide is built is a really beautiful part of the park & we loved our night at the Dove's Nest tree-house where we fell asleep to the sound of frogs & slipped very quickly into the routine of a morning or afternoon nap after a morning walk/drive & left with the batteries fully recharged! Ian, Cher, Judy & the team were fantastic & couldn't have done more to ensure our stay was as memorable as it was. We're already looking forward to the day we can return for an anniversary!

Daffy and team brilliant!

Food superb!

Bush experience fantastic!

Thankyou to Cher, Nicholas and the team at The Hide, it is a top bush lodge. Great location, food and service.
10/10... The rains had started so the game was scarse as was expected by us knowing the wet season is not peak game viewing time... the bird life was excellent and got to see a crimson breasted shrike, violet cheeked waxbill plus others not seen by ourselves before.
