Wilderness Linkwasha

Come and treat yourself to one of the finest camps and game-rich private reserves in Zimbabwe. Solar powered Wilderness Linkwasha has a modern but luxurious design that feels like home. Enjoy the variety of game from foot in one of the best safari hides we have ever seen. Guiding is great, food and drink first rate – and guests in a romantic frame of mind relish the private-dining options! We recommend Wilderness Linkwasha for all sorts of reasons – fantastic accommodation, exciting range of activities, excellent service! We are particularly taken with the Winter Lounge, which makes the camp a good option all year round.

Our Roonterra Opinion
  • Excellent value for luxury seekers
Wilderness Linkwasha is such a well-thought-out camp, the consideration for traveler comfort and unique experiences is really apparent during a stay here! The real stand-outs at this camp for me are the sunken hide at the waterhole in front of the camp, where elephants come to drink throughout the day – an amazing experience, as you can view these gentle giants from ground level – and the star bed sleepout with its own pizza oven!

Activities

Game drives

Sleep out under the stars

Local excursions

Nature walks

  • The camp’s location within a private concession guarantees great game viewing – so activities are centred on day and night game drives in addition to walking safari. Viewing from hides is available too. Wilderness Linkwasha is home to all Big Five animals and numerous other species – giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, eland. The concession’s birdlife is also very impressive! Nocturnal sightings tend to be of hyena, pangolin, mongoose and porcupine.

  • Guests who are feeling especially adventurous might appreciate a night under the stars. The camp’s sleep out deck is a 15-minute drive from Linkwasha. Located in Scott’s Pan, the raised decking overlooks a waterhole so guests can experience wildlife mere metres below their mattresses! It is recommended that you pre-book this excursion.

  • And like its sister camp, Wilderness Davison’s , Wilderness Linkwasha offers a four-hour excursion to a local village. Guided by a villager or Wilderness guide, guests are encouraged to tour the local school, meet the village headman/headwoman and get to know the villagers. You can also visit Ngamo Livestock Farm, a near-by agricultural educational centre for local youngsters.

  • There is also the opportunity to learn about the local wildlife, flora and fauna on foot from the camp’s experienced guides.

    • Access & Location

    Within the Linkwasha Concession and a short distance from Ngamo Plains, Wilderness Linkwasha is the most luxurious camp in Hwange and is situated in an area teeming with excellent game viewing. Linkwasha Airstrip is approximately a 50-60 minute drive from the camp.

    Warning icon
    This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
