Nehimba Lodge
Remotely nestled away on a huge private concession in the northern part of Hwange National Park, Nehimba Lodge combines luxury living, ultimate elegance and African charm to provide you with an exceptional safari experience. Our 9 spacious canvas under thatch tents are built on teak decks and along with the guest area, overlook the magnificent lodge pan, which is frequented by large numbers of elephants, particularly in the dry season.
Nehimba is situated on its own private estate within the national park and wild animals including lion, leopard, buffalo and hyena wander freely through the area. Enjoy a steaming cup of coffee on your private balcony at dawn or whittle away the last of the daylight hours on the guest area deck with sundowners, observing the many different animals that pass infront of the lodge and quench their thirst at the waterhole.
