Elephant's Eye, Hwange

Absolute blooming fantastic! We’ve been to Hwange many times, and this trip was the first in 20 years so it was special for our family - our girls were seeing Zimbabwe for the first time. Ele Eye didn’t disappoint! The buildings, tents and layout were exceptional, and what made it outstanding was the team - everyone who was part of our experience- the chef, the waiters, the bar team, our safari guide and the manager. We enjoyed drinks at the bar and around the fire with the team and that made our holiday - and it turns out, it was special for them too. My top tip - if you go, immerse yourselves and enjoy all the staff, they will enrich your experience. We didn’t see cats - and that’s ok because wildlife shouldn’t be on tap - we had amazing Ele, Giraffe, Wild Dog, Impaka, Kudu, Zebra, Warthog, Sable… experienced. We all loved it. Our girls are 14 and 12. They loved it. The 12-yr old has diabetes and they couldn’t have been more accommodating Would we go back? Yes please - tomorrow!

My family spent three days and three nights at Elephant's Eye in April 2023. We cannot recommend the experience highly enough - we loved every minute of it. The staff were so kind, thoughtful, and helpful - particularly to our son, playing with him and ensuring he had everything he needed. The accommodations were the perfect mixture between luxury and closeness to nature, complete with an amazing outdoor shower. Our guide, Dumi, was incredible - he answered every question we had, found all of the animals we hoped to see, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout the experience. The food was also wonderful, particularly when you get to enjoy it while watching the elephants at the camp's watering hole. Everything about our experience was a ten - we can't wait to go back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Elephant Eye hotel, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff, particularly Leroy and Dumi. These two individuals truly went above and beyond to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Leroy was an exceptional concierge, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. . His attention to detail and genuine care for myself and my family made a huge impression on me, and I felt well taken care of throughout my stay. Dumi, on the other hand, was an excellent driver on the safari. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and had a true desire to find us the animals we were looking for. His expert navigation and keen eye for spotting wildlife made our safari experience unforgettable. His friendly personality and engaging conversation made me feel right at home, and I loved spending time chatting with him during our journey. The Elephant Eye hotel itself was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities one could need. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, always going the extra mile to make sure my stay was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in the area. The views are breathtaking...
