Linkwasha Camp

Linkwasha is a luxurious camp that lies in a private concession in the enormously productive south-eastern corner of Hwange National Park. Situated on the edge of the famed Ngamo Plains, where wildlife gathers in numbers during summer – to add to the year-round excellent viewing from the camp itself; Linkwasha overlooks a pan that is a magnet for game seeking to quench its thirst, especially in the dry winter months.

Hwange’s mix of different veld and landscape types means that game viewing is productive year-round. Wildlife frequently encountered in our area includes lion, large herds of elephant, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, spotted hyaena, giraffe, sable, blue wildebeest, impala, waterbuck, and reedbuck. In summer, wildebeest, zebra, and eland are found in abundance on the open plains, while in winter elephant congregate in enormous numbers around the waterholes. Birdlife in the area is prolific (400+) and varied.

The fresh, open and airy design of the camp is complemented by an eclectic mix of contemporary interiors and Ndebele culture, with its nine sumptuous en-suite tents (eight twins and one family unit) overlooking a scenic plain. The main area includes various multi-level decks, amongst them, a cosy library, fireplace, and shaded salas surrounding an inviting pool. Our nearby romantic Star Bed looks onto a productive waterhole.

Alongside our non-profit partner, Children in the Wilderness, we work closely with the surrounding communities and schools, ensuring they benefit from conservation and sustainable ecotourism. Guests can enjoy a local village visit which often includes a guided tour of the school, meeting the headman or participating in community projects.
