Hideaways Africa has released two safari specials for its Zimbabwe and Botswana properties, giving advisors bookable incentives alongside a wider update on how the operator manages its properties, guides and partner network across Southern Africa.
Hwange offer adds free night, Mankwe offer includes helicopter transfer
Under the Hwange National Park Pay 2, Stay 3 offer, guests booking a minimum three-night stay at either Nantwich Lodge or Bumbusi Wilderness Camp receive one complimentary night. The offer is valid for stays until 31 October 2026, applies only to international rates, and is available for new bookings only — reservations confirmed before the special launched do not qualify. It cannot be combined with other specials and is subject to availability.
Separately, guests booking a minimum three-night stay at Mankwe receive a complimentary helicopter flight to the property, valid for travel between 1 June and 31 October 2026. The offer requires a minimum of two guests, applies to standard full-paying international rates only, and is similarly restricted to new bookings and not combinable with other specials.
Operating model built around private concessions and small groups
Hideaways properties are set on private concessions across Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, supplemented by partner properties in Zambia, allowing single-country or combined multi-country itineraries. Game drive vehicles are capped at six guests, and selected properties can be booked on an exclusive-use basis for larger groups or families.
The operator said its guides undergo annual cross-border training covering wildlife knowledge, guiding technique, guest experience and safety, and that its own staff regularly travel the safari circuit to maintain first-hand knowledge of how properties connect.
Hideaways’ broader collection of pre-packaged safari itineraries includes built-in savings of 5 to 7 per cent for travel in 2026 and 2027, as previously reported by Africa Beat.
