Nehimba Lodge
Nehimba Lodge sits on a remote, exclusive 43,500-acre private concession, with the main area and 9 canvas-under-thatch suites on teak decks overlooking a productive elephant waterhole. TripAdvisor rates it 4/5 from 281 reviews, ranking #6 of 32 specialty lodging in Hwange, with guests praising close elephant encounters at the waterhole, superb food, and professional, well-organised management.
The lodge has 9 suites — 2 family (1 king plus two three-quarter beds), 1 honeymoon, 4 double (king) and 2 twin — each en-suite with a slipper bath, outdoor shower and private balcony over the waterhole, accommodating up to 23 guests. There's a small pool on site, with solar power and WiFi available in the main lodge.
Activities are fully tailor-made: game drives, walking safaris, night drives, and tracking the area's "elephant hunting lions," alongside visits to the Nehimba Seeps and Mandavu Dam. Up to 2 children may share a suite with an adult; under-7s need private dining and vehicle arrangements. Access is via roughly a 1-hour charter flight from Victoria Falls to Hwange Main Airport plus a 2–2.5 hour transfer, or via Shumba Airstrip plus a 20-minute drive; road transfers run 130–185km and don't require a 4x4.
