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.
Witness to its own fair share of history, the Victoria Falls Hotel was built in 1904 during the reign of England's King Edward VII, and reflects the opulent Edwardian style. Monarchs, Presidents, Hollywood stars and other VIPs have all strut the corridors of this ‘grand old lady of the falls'. The hotel was just recently renovated in a manner still echoing its glorious past.
The well-manicured tropical garden with its water lily pond and shady palms offers first-rate views of the Victoria Falls and the historical bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia. The hotel comprises 94 rooms of varying price class, three restaurants, two tennis courts, a large swimming pool, library, bar, spa with hair salon and a souvenir shop.
The Zambezi River rises in north-western Zambia and crosses several African countries on its 2700 km journey to the Indian Ocean. The river also forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. At Victoria Falls, the water falls for more than 100m into Batoka Gorge, over a width of nearly two kilometers. The falls are called 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' or 'the Smoke that Thunders', as the spray can be seen from miles away and, at the height of the rainy season, more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge.
On the Zimbabwe side you can photograph and admire the entire waterfall from various vantage points. You may also like to visit the historic bridge, which the English had built over Batoka Gorge when they tried to establish a railway line from Cape Town to Cairo.
To reach Lebala Camp, visitors need to cross a small footbridge that leads over a water channel to the main building with lounge, bar, firepit and dining room.
Lebala Camp is comprised of nine custom designed tents, with unique mosquito net walls, allowing an unobstructed flow of cooling breezes and stunning views. Each spacious tent has its own viewing deck, bathroom and luxurious double outside showers.
The firepit at the main building is the daily meeting point in the morning where tea, coffee, muffins and porridge are served before the activities start.
The Kwando Camps are a bit rougher around the edges if compared to the slightly more expensive camps of some other operators in Botswana. However the Kwando Concession has a solid reputation for big game and focus is primarly on serious wildlife tracking.
Lagoon Camp is located in the same concession, about 30km further north of Lebala Camp.
Tubu Tree Camp is a classic safari camp. It comprises nine tents raised on stilts with unrivalled vistas over a broad seasonal floodplain. The stylishly furnished rooms are constructed beneath shade-giving trees.
All rooms have king-size beds (or twins), a lounge, a bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower and a delightful deck to relax and read on. The rooms are connected to the main area via raised walkways. One of the rooms is a family room that has two adjoining tents, each with its own bathroom and a common lounge in the middle.
The main building consists of a lounge with a bar and a dining tent. A staircase leads to the upper floor, where further sofas invite you to read and relax. Guests like to meet for a pre-dinner drink at the fire pit in front. A little further down is a plunge pool with sun loungers.
The region is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the whole Okavango Delta, and the romantic palm islands create a real Caribbean feeling.
Tubu Tree Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. Hunda Airstrip is located approximately 15 minutes from the camp. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 35 minutes, and 1 hour 20 minutes to Kasane.
Tubu Tree Camp is part of the private Jao Concession (630 km²). Pelo Camp, Jacana Camp, Kwetsani Camp and the premier Jao Camp all belong to this concession.
