Private Luxury at Davison’s Camp

Wilderness Adventures, a company within the Wilderness Group, offers an authentic, adventurous safari and cultural experience aimed at everyone from nature enthusiast, to young-at-heart travellers and families. We are about simplicity, consistency, accessibility, biodiversity and fun.

Davison’s Camp is beautifully situated in south-eastern Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s premier wildlife destination and conservation area. As one of the few camps located within park boundaries, Davison’s offers total privacy, while the Linkwasha Concession, in which Davison’s Camp is found, offers a compelling mix of diverse wildlife, ensuring one of the best nature experiences in Africa.

Facilities and activities

Named after the founder of Hwange National Park and its first warden, Ted Davison, this camp, with its 8 tents and a family tent, offers a wonderful bush experience. Both the tents and the separate main area, comprising a lounge, dining room, and open campfire area and pool, look out over the productive waterhole. Activities at Davison’s Camp include game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, or guided walks in the early mornings, while during the siesta hours, guests can view wildlife coming down to the waterhole to drink from their tent veranda or the main area.

The Big-5 and much, much more

Game viewing is productive year-round in the Linkwasha Concession and wildlife frequently encountered here includes lion, large herds of elephant, buffalo, leopard, white rhino, spotted hyena, southern giraffe, sable, blue wildebeest, impala, common waterbuck and reedbuck. There are a number of large, open plains areas which make for excellent game viewing; in summer, wildebeest, zebra and eland are found in abundance here, while in winter the waterholes are magnets around which elephant in enormous numbers congregate to drink. Bird life in the area is prolific (400+) and varied, with species frequenting the teak woodlands as well as those typical of the drier Kalahari being present.
