Linkwasha Camp, & rates, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Our View

Wilderness Safari’s newly opened Linkwasha Camp, built on the private Linkwasha concession in the south west of Hwange National Park, close to the famed Ngamo Plains and overlooking a waterhole, which offers fantastic all year game viewing.

This new camp has a modern, fresh design with contemporary interiors but still keeping with the original spirit of a safari lodge. The eight luxury tents look out towards the waterhole and ever present game, with the main area having multiple decks, a pool and a winter lounge complete with library.

Linkwasha - The Details

Just like its sister camps Davison's and Little Makalolo, Linkwasha is situated in the private Wilderness concession in Hwange. It is without doubt the best region for game viewing in the park and Linkwasha is the closest camp to the famed Ngamo Plains.

Although the open grassy plains are productive all year round, this is where wildlife gathers in numbers during the summer. From the wildebeest and zebra who feed on the grass, to the large lion prides and lithe cheetah who prey on these animals, you can be sure of an action packed safari heading to this region.

The camp itself comprises of 9 rooms and has a good sized pool to cool off in the hotter months (September onwards). With the rooms being extremely spacious, your own private deck and mod-cons like air-conditions certainly don't go amiss. As with all Wilderness Camps, the hospitality, guiding and service are all excellent - you really become part of the family here.

The camp is an eclectic mix of contemporary interiors and Ndebele culture, The main area includes various multi-level decks, amongst them, a cosy library complete with fireplace and shaded salas surrounding the pool. For those feeling adventurous or those who would love a romantic night under the stars, a sleep-out deck overlooking one of the concession's waterholes is a unforgettable experience.

For guests who are photographically minded, or who don't want to go on game drive every day, a fully equipped underground bunker in front of camp is the perfect way to get an ant's eye perspective of the wildlife that frequents the mud wallow here. Being within walking distance of camp also ensures you are provided with plenty of snacks and drinks to keep you going throughout your time in the bunker.

Linkwasha - 4+. Well on it's way to excellence! Tent redesign needs to be done to create cross ventilation.

although this camp was arguably more modern and therefore more comfortable (heated blankets etc), we actually preferred the more authentic camps. It seemed to attract a different crowd of tourist. The initial guide who met us at the airport, although knowledgeable could have been better in general relationship/customer service type stuff. We were also paired with an American couple who were on their first safari. We ultimately ended up having to ask to change jeeps for the above two reasons. It might have been helpful beforehand if it could be requested from camp to share with others who have safari'd before, or with those with shared interests. The guide who we ultimately ended up with was excellent and pitched things perfectly.
