Today you transfer via by air from Victoria Falls Airport to Davison’s Camp in Hwange National Park.
Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest and oldest game park and lies only two hours’ drive south of Victoria Falls. Hwange is big game country with massive herds of elephants, especially visible at the end of the dry season in September, as well as lion, buffalo, hyena, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest sable, roan and other antelope. The private game lodges are mostly adjacent to the park. Here you take part in early morning and late afternoon game drives in open 4×4 vehicles and game walks.
Game-viewing in Hwange is made easier by the shallow salt pans throughout the park. These natural salt pans offer the perfect cooling mud bath for elephants. Ultimately the pans develop into small ponds. The best time to visit Hwange is in the dry winter months from June to October when the animals are forced to congregate around these water pans and ponds for much-needed water.
Davisons Camp is a classic African tented camp, with the nine tents shaded by a grove of false mopane trees overlooking a productive waterhole and the open plains beyond. As one of the few camps located within park boundaries, Davison’s Camp offers total privacy. The Linkwasha Concession offers a mix of diverse wildlife, ensuring one of the best game experiences in Hwange. Davison’s Camp is a simple and well-operated camp which offers an authentic bush experience. The mess area is very simple, but light and airy, with lounge and dining room both open to the front to make the most of the views over the waterhole.
