Arrival: Linkwasha Airstrip, Hwange National Park
On arrival at Linkwasha Airstrip, you will be met by your Wilderness Safaris Explorations guide and transferred in an open game-viewer to Davison’s Camp.
Day 1: Davison’s Camp Linkwasha Concession
The first night of this Exploration will be spent in the comfort of Davison’s Camp. This will allow you to settle into the pace of the safari before the walking commences the following morning.
Day 2: Scott’s Pan Platform, Linkwasha Concession
You will be woken at first light and enjoy breakfast as dawn breaks over Ostrich Pan. Shortly after breakfast, we will head out on our first walk. Our destination is Scott’s Pan. The route will take us through varied woodland habitats and vlei lines which will present an opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife and birds. We will arrive at Scott’s Pan around lunch time and after a well-deserved meal, we will have the opportunity to either siesta or watch the procession of game visiting the waterhole to quench their thirst. Later that afternoon, depending on the local game movements, you will either head out on a short walk or game drive to explore the surrounding area. You will return to the Scott’s Pan Platform around sunset. Dinner will be enjoyed on the platform beneath the canopy of the African night sky.
Day 3: Ngamo Plains Platform, Linkwasha Concession
We will rise to the Hwange dawn chorus before enjoying a hearty breakfast at Scott’s Pan Platform. We will then head out on a short game drive to Back Pans. Here we will disembark from the vehicle and continue on foot to Ngamo Pans. The walk will give us the opportunity to explore the combetrum, terminalia, teak and acacia woodlands along the way. Lunch will be enjoyed on arrival at the Ngamo Plains Platform. We will have the opportunity to recharge our batteries with an afternoon siesta before heading out on either a game-drive or walk. Dinner will be enjoyed under the African sky.
Day 4: Linkwasha Camp, Linkwasha Concession
As dawn breaks, we will depart on foot. Our destination is the luxurious Linkwasha Camp. A highlight of this walk will be the opportunity to explore the acacia forest fringes of the iconic Linkwasha Plains. On arrival at Linkwasha Camp, we will be greeted with a sumptuous brunch. The middle of the day will be spent at leisure and will give you the chance to rest up after the previous two days of walking. We will head out later that afternoon on a game-drive to explore the area around Linkwasha Camp. We will return to camp after dark where dinner will be enjoyed.
Day 5: Departure
We bid farewell to our adventure with a game drive from Linkwasha Camp to Linkwasha Airstrip for onward arrangements.
