Linkwasha Camp

Wilderness Safaris has wasted no time upping the ante in game-rich Hwange National Park. Here in the private Linkwasha concession, you can witness enormous concentrations of elephant and buffalo right from your ultramodern tented suite.

Of the recent openings and redesigns, this plucky new contemporary camp is the clearest signifier yet of renewed confidence in Zimbabwe's future... The whole ensemble - a dreamy haze of fresh greys and creams - blends in beautifully with the surrounding Kalahari savannah and bleached acacia woodland.

This is a game-changer. The design is slick, chic, modern... Each of the nine huge tents has floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a deck with views of a waterhole as congested as Piccadilly at Christmas.
