For birding enthusiasts, Nantwich Lodge in Hwange National Park offers an exceptional opportunity to spot rare and diverse species in a secluded, wildlife-rich setting. With over 400 bird species, the park is one of Southern Africa’s top birdwatching destinations.
The best time for birding is during the green season (November to March), when migratory birds arrive, but the lodge’s permanent waterholes ensure year-round sightings. From the Hidden Eye Hide, guests can observe waterbirds like herons, egrets, and the striking Saddle-billed Stork. Around the lodge, birders frequently spot the Lilac-breasted Roller, Scarlet-chested Sunbird, Pearl-spotted Owlet, and African Golden Oriole.
Whether on a guided birding safari or simply relaxing on the deck, every moment at Nantwich is filled with incredible avian encounters.
