This family-run camp provides a variety of accommodations perfect for family safaris. Tom’s Little Hide, an exclusive-use safari house, offers complete privacy and flexibility, making it ideal for families of all ages. The spacious layout includes three adjacent ensuite rooms as well as its own plunge pools.

Activities at The Hide are crafted to immerse families in Hwange’s extraordinary Big Five wildlife and varied landscapes. Private guides bring the bush to life through game drives at dawn, dusk, and even after dark, showcasing the park’s unique nocturnal animals. Daytime bush walks invite young explorers to discover the ecosystem’s details, while cultural tours to local villages offer a meaningful glimpse into Zimbabwe’s cultural heritage.
Back at camp, the waterhole ensures constant close-up wildlife encounters, while a night at Dove’s Nest treehouse offers the thrill of sleeping under the stars—a truly memorable adventure for all ages.
