ACCOMMODATION

Perched high above the open plains of Hwange National Park, The Dove’s Nest offers an exclusive and secluded sleep-out experience for those seeking a deeper connection with the African wilderness. Located just ten minutes from The Hide’s main camp, this elevated treehouse provides a breathtaking vantage point over the vlei, where elephants, antelope, and other wildlife frequently gather. Designed as a romantic escape or a moment of solitude for nature lovers, this hidden gem allows guests to embrace the sights and sounds of the bush in complete privacy.

The rustic yet elegant treehouse features an enclosed canvas bedroom with gauze windows, allowing cool breezes and the soothing sounds of the nocturnal wilderness to filter through. A beautifully crafted wooden deck serves as both a lounge and dining area, where guests can enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared in advance by the chefs at The Hide’s main camp. As twilight sets in, lanterns cast a soft glow over the treetop retreat, creating an ambiance of understated luxury. An outdoor bath and shower provide an additional sense of adventure, allowing guests to refresh under the vast African sky while taking in the surrounding landscape. A radio is provided for communication, ensuring both security and peace of mind.

Guests arrive at The Dove’s Nest in the late afternoon after an exhilarating game drive, greeted with sundowners before settling in for the evening. As the first light of dawn illuminates the horizon, a private guide arrives to escort them back to The Hide’s main lodge, where a hearty breakfast awaits. This extraordinary experience is ideal for honeymooners, couples celebrating special occasions, or those simply seeking a one-of-a-kind safari adventure. Sleeping under the stars, surrounded by the untouched beauty of Hwange, is an unforgettable way to embrace the magic of Africa.
