On Safari

Hwange National Park is renowned for its astonishing diversity of wildlife, and Linkwasha Lodge places you right in the heart of this natural spectacle. From the lodge, you can embark on thrilling game drives led by expert guides, venturing deep into the park’s pristine wilderness. Keep your camera at the ready, for Hwange is known for its vast herds of elephants that roam the savannah, often providing unforgettable encounters. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and a multitude of plains game also call this park home.

For those seeking a different perspective, guided walking safaris are available, allowing you to intimately connect with the African bush and its inhabitants. And as the sun sets over the horizon, evening game drives offer opportunities to witness the park’s nocturnal wonders.

There is a bunker set right on the waterhole at the camp, where you can get underground and peer out through an open viewing window at ground level, putting you right in the action when wildlife visits the waterhole.
