Nimali Tarangire has a new hide for extraordinarily close wildlife encounters. It is up close to the waterhole and easily accessed without disturbing the thirsty wildlife. Wander down from the new raised firepit or the swimming pool for a closer look and cool photographic opportunities.

Sally has just returned from a successful fam trip with Imvelo to the Falls and Hwange. Read all about it in our latest blog and if you would like an update on the new rhino experience or feedback about how Hwange is post pandemic, please call or email sally@marketing-worldwide.co.uk
All guests visiting the Rhino Experience in Hwange have enabled the new Ngamo Clinic to open and operate. As long as tourists are coming to see the rhino, the community will have funds to keep the clinic operational (and more) which means the clinic is not reliant on sporadic charitable donations. Much more work needs to be done on the Clinic but at least, thanks to Thuza and Kusasa, it will be able to treat people in the meantime and continue to supply medicines. Please keep encouraging your guests to visit and include the Rhino Experience!
