Linkwasha & Little Linkwasha—Hwange

Linkwasha is in a private concession in south-east Hwange National Park. The area covers many diverse habitants that include teak forests, palm islands, savannah grasslands and acacia woodlands. The animal populations are equally diverse and the area attracts over 400 species of birds. The nearby waterholes provide an oasis for the wildlife. The camp is set in a most beautiful location in the middle of a vast plain overlooking a waterhole.

Linkwasha is a seven-roomed camp and Little Linkwasha is a three-roomed camp. The rooms at both camps are large, comfortable and have tented walls under thatch with en-suite facilities, including a shower, basin and flush toilet, and an additional outside shower “under the stars”. The dining room, pub and lounge area is under thatch and there is a plunge pool. Raised boardwalks connect the main dining area with the rooms. Game drives in 4x4 Land Rovers and walks with an armed guide from part of the experience at Linkwasha. Viewing game up close at waterhole from one of the area’s many hides is an experience not to be forgotten.

The area is known, during our winter months, for its big game concentrations of Elephants and Buffalo. Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Hyena are regulars, and their prey includes all the plains game. Roan and Sable are seen in the woodlands. Birdlife is abundant and diverse. During the summer there is a large influx of the plains game – Eland, Zebra, Giraffe and Wildebeest (closely followed by their predators!) who feed off the new grasses.
