Nestled discreetly beneath a grove of false mopane trees, Wilderness Davison's is located in the private Linkwasha Concession - one of the most prolific wildlife areas in Hwange National Park. Hidden within a treeline, this African safari camp overlooks an open plain and a waterhole that attracts large numbers of animals, especially thirsty herds of elephant and buffalo in the dry season. Guests staying in one of Wilderness Davison’s nine tents (including a family room) can enjoy the quintessential Hwange experience, viewing the wildlife on game drives and guided nature walks in this diverse and exciting area. Arranged directly in camp only, and subject to vehicle availability, it may be possible to include a visit to one of the local villages. Subject to availability, guests may have the opportunity to visit and learn more about the Scorpion Anti-Poaching Unit team. Insider’s Tip: A small upper deck in the main area is the ideal location from which to watch wildlife at the waterhole.

Subtle touches elevate the stay, from Nespresso machines and plush robes to locally inspired toiletries. Days unfold easily at The Peech, with mornings in the garden, afternoons by the pool or strolling across to the park, and evenings shaped around exceptional on-site dining. The Pot Luck Club Johannesburg brings energy and flavour after dark, with inventive small plates and a lively dining room.
