- Wilderness's contemporary flagship in southern Hwange, on the wildlife-rich Ngamo Plains.
- Eight stylish tented suites overlooking a busy waterhole in a private concession.
- Some of Hwange's best predator viewing — lion, cheetah, wild dog — plus vast plains-game herds.
- A polished, design-led camp with a log-pile hide and star-bed sleep-outs.
Why Linkwasha Camp
Linkwasha sits in the far south-east of Hwange, on the edge of the open Ngamo Plains — some of the most productive game country in the park. It is Wilderness's contemporary flagship here: light, design-led and utterly comfortable, overlooking a waterhole that pulls in elephant, buffalo and predators throughout the dry season. The plains setting means big skies, long sightlines and superb light — a photographer's dream.
For travellers who want cutting-edge camp style paired with elite game viewing, Linkwasha is a top choice. It ranks among the best Zimbabwe safari lodges and makes a brilliant, contrasting pairing with a classic camp on a full Hwange National Park safari.
The Suites & Setting
Eight airy tented suites blend canvas with clean, contemporary design — floor-to-ceiling views, billowing mosquito nets, en-suite bathrooms and private decks facing the waterhole. The main area is stylish and social, with a lounge, dining room, pool and shaded deck all looking onto the plain. A log-pile hide sits at the water's edge, and a raised star bed offers a night beneath the Milky Way. It feels current and refined without ever losing the wildness of the plains around it.
Wildlife & Experiences
The Ngamo Plains are famous for predators — lion prides, cheetah on the open grassland and Hwange's celebrated wild dog packs — set against huge herds of elephant, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, eland and sable. Game drives make the most of the open country and long sightlines, guided walks read the finer detail, and the log-pile hide offers close, eye-level photography. Night drives on the concession add nocturnal species, and the waterhole in front of camp keeps the action coming all day.
Best Time to Visit
May to October is prime, when water concentrates wildlife around the waterhole and the plains teem with game — September and October are the peak for predators and big herds. The green season (November to April) brings dramatic skies, migrant birds and newborn game, with photography at its most beautiful even as wildlife spreads out.
