These nocturnal hide in Zimanga are probably the most beautiful and the most innovative in the world. Concrete structures completely buried with a large mirror that overlooks a large water point. Very comfortable, you will sit in luxurious armchairs and you will face a magnificent panorama. During the day, many species of birds will drink, but it will become spectacular when the lights of the sunset will appear and you will be waiting enthusiastically for the animals that will refresh themselves at night. Sometimes buffaloes, elephants, warthogs, rhinos ... But if you are really lucky, you will meet hyenas, lions or even a rare leopard in front of you!

It's a long afternoon session in the morning, about 20 hours! However you can live comfortably to the point of forgetting the long hours of waiting. Air conditioning, 4 double beds, a kitchen and a bathroom, reading corner, WiFi, everything is there. A dinner and breakfast will be served. It's easy to get warm in the microwave, there's a fridge and coffee / tea as much as you like. There are 4 large photo sites with a tripod. If you wish to sleep, there is even a detection system that indicates by a sound when an animal passes.

Animals that come to drink can be admired from 2-3 meters and even with a wide angle photograph is recommended.

A unique experience you will never forget!
