Davisons Camp

Named after the founder of Hwange National Park and its first warden, Ted Davison. Game drives and guided nature walks explore this private concession.

Hwange’s mix of different veld and landscape types means that game viewing is productive year round. Wildlife frequently encountered in our area includes lion, large herds of elephant, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, spotted hyaena, giraffe, sable, roan, blue wildebeest, impala, waterbuck, and reedbuck. In summer, wildebeest, zebra, and eland are found in abundance on the open plains, while in winter elephant congregate in enormous numbers around the waterholes. Birdlife in the area is prolific (400+) and varied.

Hidden within a treeline, this classic African safari camp, with nine bright and airy tents (including a family room) span either side of the welcoming main area, which overlooks an open plain, and a waterhole which is a favourite drinking spot for elephant and buffalo. The main area comprises a spacious lounge and dining area, leading onto an expansive deck with an open campfire area, perfect for convivial evening musings or star gazing. The refreshing pool and its loungers are beautifully positioned for relaxation, while a small upper deck is an ideal location from which to watch wildlife at the waterhole.

As the concessionaire of the private Linkwasha and Makalolo areas in south-eastern Hwange National Park, we have created solid partnerships with Zimbabwe's Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA) and other conservation entities, as well as local communities, in order to protect the wildlife and support the people that live in the surrounding villages.
