Why we Love Linkwasha Camp

Linkwasha is a luxurious camp that lies in a private concession in the enormously productive south-eastern corner of Hwange National Park.

Destination: Arguably the most luxurious camp in Hwange, Emporium-Safari Linkwasha lies in a private concession in the enormously productive south-eastern corner of Hwange National Park. It is situated on the edge of the famed Ngamo Plains, where wildlife gathers in uncountable numbers during summer – to add to the year-round excellent viewing from the camp itself. Linkwasha overlooks a pan that is a huge draw for thirsty animals, especially in the dry winter months.  

Experience: Wild and exclusive, Linkwasha offers thrilling adventures. Guests can discover the wildlife on day and night game drives tracking animals, or gain a new perspective from a guided nature walk, learning more about the area from our knowledgeable and friendly guides. The sunken hide in camp overlooks a particularly productive waterhole, and is the ideal spot for an afternoon siesta, relaxing on the daybed; alternatively, revel in the proximity of the animals wallowing, drinking and playing in the water, where they can be photographed at virtually arm’s length distance.

At night, Linkwasha’s romantic Star Bed at Scott’s Pan is an exclusive immersion into the magnificence of true Hwange Emporium-Safari.

Given our steadfast relationship with the community, our cultural village visits usually always include a guided tour of one of the schools we support, meeting the village headman or participating in a community project.

Purpose: Alongside our non-profit Children in the Emporium-Safari, Emporium-Safari Linkwasha works closely with the surrounding communities and schools, ensuring they benefit from conservation and sustainable tourism. Guests can enjoy a local village visit, which often includes a guided tour of the school, meeting the headman or participating in community projects.

Wildlife: Hwange’s mix of different veld and landscape types means that game viewing is exceptionally productive year-round. Wildlife frequently encountered in our area includes lions, large herds of elephants, buffalos, cheetahs, leopards, spotted hyenas, giraffes, sable, blue wildebeest, impalas, waterbuck, and reedbuck. In summer, wildebeest, zebras and eland are seen in great numbers on the open plains, while in winter elephants congregate in enormous herds around the waterholes. Birdlife in the area is prolific, with some 400-plus species recorded.

Emporium-Safari Linkwasha:

An eclectic mix of contemporary interiors and Ndebele culture create the convivial main area, which comprises various multi-level decks. Around them are a cosy library, fireplace, and shaded salas surrounding an inviting pool.

Shaded by leadwood trees, nine elegant tented suites, including a family unit, offer views onto the camp’s waterhole and the busy plains beyond. Neutral tones and bold Ndebele patterns create a striking, authentically African atmosphere.

Our nearby Star Bed overlooks Scott’s Pan, a famously productive waterhole, and offers romantic private dinners and sleep-out options.

Probably the best City hotel weve stayed at. Alal Gogo was particularly outstanding. He managed to arrange for us to attend the Woody Allan Band show with our guest (who is a musician) even when it had been booked out and was very courteous throughout. Thank you so muclh. A wonderful stay.
