The new Linkwasha Camp was built in one of the best wildlife areas within Hwange National Park, with easy access to key game viewing areas such as Ngamo Plains. The camp is rated higher in terms of luxury and service than any other camp in Hwange.

The camp features seven en-suite double / twin tents and one family tent with two bedrooms. The main area has multi-level decks providing a variety of views over the plains in front of camp, a bar, a lounge with fireplace and library, an outdoor swimmingpool and a fire pit.

Linkwasha Camp is situated in the south-eastern Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. A short flight (50 minutes) takes guests from Victoria Falls to Linkwasha Airstrip. The camp is part of the private 52'000 hectare Linkwasha Concession and self-drivers and other guests are not permitted.

At 14'500 km², Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe. Open plains made predominantly of Kalahari sand alternate with mopane woodland and acacia scrub.

Hwange National Park becomes increasingly dry from April to the end of October, when large numbers of game gather round the waterholes (many of them artificial); particularly impressive are the herds of buffalo and elephant. Lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog are also regular visitors. November heralds the onset of rain and the park's dusty plains are transformed as if by magic into a sea of green. The animals disperse during this period and are thus more difficult to find.

With over 400 species, the park offers a staggering array of birdlife. Several white rhino have been introduced to the area, but spotting them is far from easy. The rare roan and sable antelope, as well as eland, are also at home here, and the chances of snapping the perfect photo are high.

The camp offers game drives in an open 4x4 vehicle; bushwalks are usually possible. Visit of a local village. Sleep under the stars.

Winter (June/July) can be very cold in Hwange National Park, so don't forget to pack your woollies when visiting at this time of year!
