A Year Round Safari Experience in Hwange National Park

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Situated on the edge of Hwange National Park’s famed Ngamo Plains, an area known for excellent year round game viewing, Wilderness Linkwasha consistently ranks among our top safari recommendations in Zimbabwe.

Set beneath the mottled shade of mature leadwood trees, the camp offers just nine spacious tented suites, creating an intimate and exclusive safari atmosphere. The design is contemporary yet firmly rooted in safari tradition, with neutral tones complemented by subtle Ndebele inspired patterns that reflect the region’s cultural heritage.

Each tented suite features a comfortable bed draped in mosquito netting, a well appointed ensuite bathroom, a sitting area and a private deck overlooking the surrounding bush. The main guest area includes inviting dining and lounge spaces, as well as a swimming pool that doubles as a magnet for wildlife in the late afternoons, particularly elephants coming to drink.

Why We Love Wilderness Linkwasha

The camp makes excellent use of its wildlife rich setting within Hwange National Park. Alongside rewarding 4×4 game drives, guests can experience Zimbabwe’s wildlife at a slower pace through time spent in the onsite sunken hide or during an unforgettable star bed sleepout under the night sky.

Conservation and community experiences add further depth to a stay, while the inclusion of cooling units in the tented suites is a welcome comfort during the warmer months of September and October.

Insider Tip: For the more adventurous, consider spending an extra night to allow time for the star bed sleepout experience.

 FAQs About Wilderness Linkwasha

Where is Wilderness Linkwasha located?

Wilderness Linkwasha is located within Hwange National Park, in a wildlife rich area known for consistent game viewing. The camp is positioned close to key wildlife movement corridors rather than directly on open plains, creating a more secluded safari experience.

What wildlife can I expect to see at Wilderness Linkwasha?

Wildlife viewing at Wilderness Linkwasha is consistently rewarding. Hwange National Park is home to one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, and large breeding herds are frequently seen moving through the area. Beyond elephants, guests can expect:

  • Lion prides
  • Wild dogs moving through the area
  • Cheetah on occasion
  • Plains game such as sable, roan, kudu, zebra and giraffe
  • Buffalo in sizeable herds
  • Birdlife including African fish eagle, kori bustard, hornbills and raptors

Why are the Ngamo Plains often compared to the Serengeti in summer?

The Ngamo Plains are often referred to as the “Serengeti of Hwange” during the green season, typically from December to April. Seasonal rains transform this otherwise dry landscape into expansive grasslands that attract large concentrations of wildlife.

During summer, the plains support:

  • Large elephant movements
  • Buffalo herds and plains game such as zebra and antelope
  • Increased predator activity, including lion and cheetah
  • Exceptional birdlife, boosted by migratory species

While Wilderness Linkwasha is not located directly on the Ngamo Plains, its position nearby allows guests to explore this broader ecosystem when conditions are right, particularly during the summer months when the plains are at their most productive.
