Davison's Camp
Located in the Linkwasha Concession of the famous Hwange National Park, Davison's Camp is a traditional tented safari camp overlooking a prolific waterhole that is visible from the main area and all the tents. The Linkwasha Concession offers excellent year-round game viewing with frequent sightings of lion, elephant, leopard and white rhino as well as a wide variety of antelope.
Davison's Camp lies deep in Hwange National Park, in the south-eastern Linkwasha Concession - one of the best game viewing areas of the entire Park. It is a classic African tented camp, with the units tastefully hidden beneath a grove of false mopane trees, overlooking a waterhole and open plain.
Named after the founder of Hwange National Park and its first warden, Ted Davison. Nestled under a grove of ancient false mopane trees, Davison’s Camp is situated in a remote north-eastern corner of Hwange National Park. Named after the founder of Hwange National Park and its first warden, Ted Davison, the camp overlooks an extremely productive waterhole that attracts a variety of plains game and predators. Eight twin-bedded tents and one family unit, along with a main area comprising a lounge and dining room, altogether offer the quintessential Hwange experience.
