Twelve luxury safari tents with en-suite bathroom are scattered along the banks of the Zambezi River. The rooms are connected by walkways to the main building. The meals are served on the sundeck by the pool or in the restaurant. From everywhere, great views of the Zambezi River can be enjoyed.
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.
Changa Camp is the only permanent camp in Matusadona National Park. The camp owns a private concession, with exclusive access to nearly five kilometers of Lake Kariba’s shoreline!
With only six double tents and two family tents, Changa Camp is a personal and intimate affair, located right on the shores of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. Each room offers a private veranda, outdoor bath and shower.
The main area plays host to the dining room and some lounge corners. A stairway leads down onto a lower deck with a fire pit and further on to the wide beach of glittering white sand and the swimming pool, the perfect spot to sit and relax whilst enjoying a refreshing drink. Food is served on a communal table in the dining area or under a canopy of trees on the deck, or at the sandy beach in front of camp.
The swimming pool is a wonderfully shaded haven equipped with sun loungers and private seating areas. Because Changa is set on the shores of Lake Kariba, it enjoys cooling breezes all day from the prevailing wind that comes across the water into camp.
Access is by plane into Fothergill Island airfield. The duration of the flights is approximately an hour and a half from either Harare or Victoria Falls. Guests are picked up at the airstrip and driven to camp by vehicle in about 20 minutes. If the water level of the lake is high, then the boat must also be used.
Ruckomechi Camp offers ten spacious tents with large bathrooms and additional outdoor showers. All tents have a small forecourt with chairs and river views. The rooms are open and airy and their many windows offer fantastic panoramic views of passing wildlife.
Five rooms are located either side of the main building, which is accessed via raised wooden platforms and houses a pool, library, lounge, bar and the dining area. An outdoor deck with plenty of cushions and integrated fireplace is the ideal spot for morning coffee or a good story to round off the day.
The camp is located on the banks of the Zambezi inside a private concession bordering the actual park. No other vehicles are permitted to drive in this area and as the concession is located just outside the park, night drives are allowed as well.
Ruckomechi Camp can be reached by flying to Harare in Zimbabwe before taking a 1.5-hour light aircraft flight to camp, or in a light aircraft from Victoria Falls (2 hrs). Transfer from Mana West Airstrip to camp takes around 30 minutes.
