Mango Opinion
This is not a traditional bush camp, but fabulous nonetheless. With a modern style that offers real luxury, Linkwasha is the premium camp in Hwange. The safari walks and drives here very productive as you are able to explore this vast and private part of Hwange away from any crowds.
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, which offer fantastic summer game viewing, the camp looks over a magnificent plain and a pan that is a magnet for game year round, especially in the dry winter months.
The fresh, open and airy design of Linkwasha Camp is complemented by an eclectic mix of contemporary interiors. Eight sumptuous en-suite tents and one family unit offer incredible views, while the main area – including multi-level decks, a pool area and a winter lounge complete with library – overlooks the prolific waterhole.
With access to two of the best private concessions in Hwange, Linkwasha game drives are particularly exciting, taking in herds as well as the carnivores that call the area home. Night drives can yield many species less-frequently-seen species, such as lesser bushbaby, pangolin, caracal, porcupine, springhare and honey badger. Hwange’s mix of different veld and landscape types means that game viewing is productive year-round. Wildlife frequently encountered in the 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 and varied.
