Linkwasha Camp is situated on an exclusive private concession in Hwange, Zimbabwe’s largest reserve. The camp overlooks a flat plain and waterhole, the open landscape ideal for watching the animals drawn to the waters, especially during the dry season. Contemporary elegance and safari style are skilfully blended in the décor and structure of this appealing property.
Luxurious and spacious, eight canvas tents, and one family tent, are constructed on wooden platforms, and feature glass sliding doors opening out to private decks and bush vistas. Units are climate-controlled, ensuring comfortable temperatures.
Fresh and attractive central areas include multi-level decks, a pool and winter lounge; the natural environment and unspoilt wilderness may be appreciated from all areas of Linkwasha Camp.
Situated at the waterhole in front of camp, the sunken hide is within walking distance of the main area and accommodates a maximum of six guests. Equipped with tea/coffee making facilities and a mini-bar fridge this is a great place to hang out and watch for animals. Search for the reserve’s inhabitants on exciting, open vehicle game drives and guided walks. Savour al fresco meals under starry skies, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
Mana Pools National Park lies in the northern part of Zimbabwe, and on the southern side of the Zambezi river. After Victoria Falls, the mighty Zambezi flows from Lake Kariba through a huge rift in the earth’s crust: the Lower Zambezi Valley, marking the border with Zambia.
A small park of just 2,190km², Mana Pools National Park is part of a larger Parks and Wildlife Estate – from the Kariba Dam in the west, to the Mozambique border in the east – the wildlife moves freely in this area and northwards into Zambia.
Over the millennia, the Zambezi has created islands, channels and sandbanks in the valley, and as it changes its course northwards small ox-bow lakes have formed. The name “Mana” means four in the local Shona language, as a reference to the four pools situated in the park. The park is home to a wide range of mammals, including hippo, crocodile, elephant plus a wide variety of aquatic birds. Activities include good fishing, caneoing, game drives, plus it's one of Africa's best areas for walking safaris.
Mana Pools National Park has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984; before Victoria Falls, the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the Khami Ruins, and Matobo Hills National Park.
