Deep within the northern reaches of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, Nehimba Lodge offers an exclusive safari experience that beautifully combines natural luxury with untamed wilderness. Built on teak stilts and overlooking an active waterhole, the lodge’s nine spacious chalets provide sweeping views of the surrounding plains, where elephants and other wildlife are frequent visitors. With its elevated design, thatched roofs, and timber accents, Nehimba blends seamlessly with its environment while offering all the comforts of a high-end lodge. Guests can enjoy cooling off in the swimming pool that often shares its water with thirsty elephants, dine under the stars with gourmet bush cuisine, and unwind in an atmosphere that feels both remote and refined. The lodge is also deeply tied to conservation and community, ensuring that each stay contributes positively to preserving Hwange’s wildlife and supporting local communities.
Beyond the luxurious chalets and serene setting, Nehimba Lodge provides unforgettable encounters with Africa’s iconic wildlife. Expert-led game drives and walking safaris introduce guests to Hwange’s famous elephant herds, predators, and diverse birdlife, while unique excursions such as visits to ancient San rock paintings and the remote Nehimba Seep—a natural spring that attracts game year-round—add cultural and historical depth to the safari experience. Evenings are spent around a crackling fire or in the open-air lounge, with the sounds of the bush providing a natural symphony. Nehimba Lodge is a sanctuary of comfort and adventure, offering a safari stay that is as intimate as it is extraordinary.
