Wilderness Davison’s in Hwange National Park captures the true spirit of an African safari, where crisp mornings, warm afternoons, breath-taking sunsets and fireside chats set the day’s tempo.
Named after the first warden of Hwange National Park, Davison’s offers a timeless, classic safari experience. Delight in the authentic nature of this wild place, where animals roam freely and the true spirit of an African safari prevails.
Nestled in a grove of false mopane trees, Davison’s features nine airy, en-suite tents, including a family unit. Inspired by the natural palette surrounding the camp, African décor and earthy tones create a calm, authentic atmosphere. From the vantage point of your tent, gaze over the waterhole where a procession of wildlife comes to quench their thirst.
At Davison’s, dishes are created from fresh, locally grown produce, celebrating indigenous grains and fruits. Enjoy a sundowner and local snacks at one of Hwange’s pans, then gather around the fire in the boma while dinner is cooked over the flames.
Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool after a thrilling morning of safari activities. Spend quiet moments on the main area’s upper deck, an ideal spot for observing herds of buffalo, zebra, and elephants. Share stories around an open fire before turning your eyes to the heavens as the Milky Way showcases its nightly stellar performance.
On game drives, keep your ears and eyes alert for collared elephants, which provide vital insights into migratory patterns. Search for herds of buffalo, prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and any of the nearly 100 other mammal species found in the park, all of which are part of the conservation effort.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
