The Hide is one of the top-rated Safari Tented Camps in Hwange National Park. Holding up to 20 guests, the tents all overlook a very popular waterhole which attracts a variety of wildlife including elephant and hippo. Tents offer en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. Up to four game activities are offered to guests each day.
The Private Hide is a newly built mini-safari camp on the same site which hosts up to 6 guests in two deluxe tents. A private dining room, lounge, and plunge pool make this a private escape for larger groups or families.
Tom's Little Hide accommodates up to 6 adults in three safari rooms. A private dining room, lounge, and plunge pool add some privacy and children of any age are welcome.
Guided Walks - Morning and afternoon guided walks are available everyday (age 16 and older only). As The Hide is located on a private concession within Hwange National Park borders, it is able to offer walks which might otherwise not be permitted in other parts of the park.
Day and Night Game Drives - Morning and afternoon game drives by vehicle take place each day, allowing guests to explore further from camp into Hwange. Night drives are also offered with spotlight for those who want to get a taste of wildlife after the sun goes down.
Dove's Nest Treehouse - This little secret offers guests the chance to truly spend the night in a treehouse! The romantic 'getaway' is available for guests to use for a night out in a simple treehouse overlooking the pan. Accessible by wooden stair with a closeable door, the house also offers warm shower and a comfortable bed.
Underground Hide and Wine Cellar - Access the underground hide from the main lodge when you spot wildlife approaching the hole. Simply descend into a tunnel and walk to the Blind windows and watch the action. Under here as well you can opt to select wine for dinner from the recently added cellar.
This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
Cruse ship was great. Fantastic food and service. Cruise itinary got changed so not what we expected, but not an major issue. Japan portion was great. Drivers/guides arranged by 80 Days were great. Hotels were mostly ok. Did not know that most hotels outside of major cities do not allow shoes to be worn in the hotel. again a minor inconvenience. Overall a great trip. Adventure Life communications were timely and much appreciated as far as changes/requests.

We were a group of three that initiated our research by independently searching for the best agency to help us in the somewhat complex experience of traveling to the Galapagos. We chose adventure life because they were the most responsive in the website provided the most comprehensive overview of the trip. Their reviews were also very good.
Adventure, life splits up its booking process in two parts. First Jeff, the booking agent helped us decide which experience best suited are interests. We chose a small 14 to 16 group sized yacht. Once the booking was made with Jeff, we were handed off to Coleene, who oversaw the complex process of assembling all of the necessary documents and making sure we had everything we needed to make the trip go smoothly. The adventure, life website, then becomes your personal place of reference for all things related to your trip from door to door. It’s a lot of information to assemble, especially for three travelers, but the website makes it easy and Colleen‘s gentle reminders kept us on track. In all, from the beginning, we had four months from the time we started our research till the time we departed. We felt that was, a good amount of preparation time and don’t think it would be wise to do it in less than four months. Mostly because I think you have more options with that amount of time. There were others on our trip that took six months and more from the time they started planning.
The trip itself was outstanding. We ended up on an excellent yacht (Galapagos Angel II) with a great group of guests that we were able to connect with and put together a really nice google photos album to share.
