Hideaways Nantwich Lodge

Our Review

Nantwich Lodge offers a refreshingly authentic safari experience in a remote northern section of Hwange National Park. The lodge’s elevated position overlooking a permanent waterhole creates a constant connection to the surrounding wilderness, with elephants, hippos and a variety of plains game frequently visible from the main areas. Its sense of isolation is one of its greatest strengths, providing a peaceful escape that feels far removed from busier safari circuits.

The accommodation strikes a thoughtful balance between comfort and eco-conscious simplicity. Rooms are well spaced for privacy, tastefully designed, and naturally integrated into the landscape, allowing guests to feel immersed in the bush without sacrificing essential comforts. The main lodge areas are relaxed and welcoming, encouraging guests to slow down, unwind and enjoy the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Activities at Nantwich Lodge are a highlight, with knowledgeable guides leading game drives, walking safaris and birding excursions that showcase Hwange’s remarkable biodiversity. Walking safaris in particular stand out, offering an intimate and educational perspective of the ecosystem that deepens appreciation for the park beyond traditional vehicle-based viewing.

Overall, Nantwich Lodge is ideal for travellers seeking a quieter, more meaningful safari experience focused on nature, conservation and genuine hospitality. Its combination of scenic location, strong guiding, and understated charm makes it a rewarding choice for those who value immersion and authenticity over luxury excess.
