AFRICAN LUXURY HIDEAWAYS ECO-PROMISE:Our lodges are in the heart of nature
- our first priority is to be environmentally aware
and conscious with our developments
At 15,000 square kilometres Hwange Na�onal
Park is the largest nature reserve in Zimbabwe.
Hwange boasts a tremendous selec�on of
wildlife with over 100 species of mammals and
nearly 400 bird species recorded. The park is
well known for its huge herds of Elephants and
buffalos but is also home to a variety of plains
game and of course predators. Today the
popula�on of wild dogs in Hwange is thought
to be one of the largest in Africa.
The most remarkable physical features of
Hwange are the shallow pans (lake-lets) and
natural salt-licks which a�ract animals from
the heart of the adjoining Kalahari wilderness.
PRIVATE CONCESSIONElephant's Eye, Hwange sits in its own private 6,000 acre
concession on the border of Hwange Na�onal Park. The
numerous permanent waterholes on the concession a�ract
large amounts of wildlife throughout the year par�cularly
during the dry season. Elephant's Eye, Hwange has a
number of guides qualified to help you make the most of
your experience by not only offering game drives but the
thrill and excitement of exploring the bush and seeing some
of Africa's biggest animals on foot.
A night drive on the concession can be very rewarding,
animals you may not even know existed come out to feed
whilst others' behaviour totally changes.
Staying at the lodge and relaxing on your balcony can
however be just as rewarding as there is never a dull
moment at the lodge's main waterhole.
The best Zimbabwe has to offer, the
Elephant's Eye, Hwange eco-lodge
presents an unforgettable experience
with African wildlife in an intimate
and welcoming setting. The lodge is
located on a private concession
bordering Hwange National Park.

PAINTED DOG
CONSERVATION CENTRE
The Painted Dog Conserva�on Centre is one of
the most successful wildlife organiza�ons in
Zimbabwe. They have effec�vely re-introduced
and rehabilitated many wild dogs into the
na�onal parks in Zimbabwe.
The wild dog popula�on diminished from 500
000 to just over 3000 over the past 10+ years
because of a variety of reasons such as hun�ng,
snares, poaching, road-kills and bounty hunters.
The research sta�on is extremely passionate
about rehabi l i ta�ng and changing the
percep�on of the wild dog which is only found in
Africa.
HOMESTEAD VISIT
Zimbabwean people are famous for their
friendliness and hospitality. Lying just outside
the Elephant's Eye, Hwange concession is a small
homestead which our guests can visit to
experience the everyday life of a local family in
the Dete area. The visitors are greeted with a big
smile and a warm handshake.
A guide will accompany the group to translate
and introduce the family members living in the
homestead.
This is an eye-opening experience to be re-
educated about basic human traits like trust and
hospitality that many people in this fast-paced
world have forgo�en about.

An African bush dinner is a favourite amongst the
Elephant's Eye, Hwange ac�vi�es. We combine
world-class cuisine with a spectacular bush
se�ng. While you enjoy the most delicious food
you can listen to the sounds of the African bush
and wait for surprise visitors like a passing herd of
elephants or buffalos. Our friendly staff will make
sure that you will receive the outstanding service
you are used to – but in a unique and unforge�able
se�ng.
