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 comfortable en suite tents hidden beneath a grove of false mopane trees, overlooking a waterhole and open plains. The camp is named after the founder of Hwange National Park and its first warden, Ted Davison, and offers offers a wonderful bush experience. Activities include guided game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, or guided walks in the early mornings, while during the siesta hours, you can view wildlife coming down to the waterhole to drink from their tent veranda or the main area. 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 hyaena, 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 (dry-season -April to Septemeber) 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. Hwange National Park Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe at 14 651 km² with varied habitats and vegetation types. The park is predominately Kalahari sandveld supporting teak and mopane woodlands, dry Acacia scrub and is interspersed with saltpans and grasslands that support enormous species diversity and provide a true wilderness experience.   Located on the border with Botswana, Hwange was proclaimed some 75 years ago and has served as a haven for one of the densest concentrations of game in Africa. In particular, its great herds of Cape buffalo and elephant (nearly 30 000) are a sight to see. With over 100 mammal species, Hwange has some of the highest mammal diversity for any national park in the world, including: slender mongoose, yellow mongoose, banded mongoose, Selous mongoose, dwarf mongoose, honey badger, black-backed jackal, bat-eared fox, side-striped jackal, lesser bushbaby, vervet monkey, Chacma baboon, porcupine, aardwolf, spotted hyaena, pangolin, caracal, leopard, African wildcat, lion, scrub hare, southern giraffe, hippo, springhare, warthog and Burchell’s zebra. Antelope often seen in the area include common duiker, eland, roan antelope, impala, kudu, sable, steenbok, waterbuck and blue wildebeest. White rhino is another special sight to see here which the Safari & Adventure Co. have recently helped translocate a number of these wonderful beasts into the protected park.  Conservation and Support As the concessionaire in south-eastern Hwange National Park, Wilderness Safaris and Safari & Adventure Co. have taken responsibility for many aspects of the management of the Linkwasha area. During the dry season, water sources become scarce and Hwange has some 57 boreholes to pump water from deep underground to sustain the wildlife in the area. The company has drilled and supplied engines, piping and the pumps on 18 of the 57 operational boreholes in the entire Park. Wilderness Safaris Wildlife Trust provides funding and logistical support in the form of transport, fuel and rations to the anti-poaching units of the National Park. Near Hwange National Park lies a little school that caters for a number of children from surrounding villages. The area suffers from poverty and lack of amenities and Ngamo School is no exception. Safari & Adventure Co. continues to provide basic equipment as well as taking guests to visit – to get a glimpse of another, poorer world.
