The value entry into Wilderness's private concession: the same traversing rights, the same guides and the same game as Linkwasha, for around half the price in high season. No private hide here, but the pan in front does the work.
Why you'd pick it
- Named after Ted Davison, Hwange's first warden
- Same concession and guiding pool as Linkwasha at a much lower rate
- Pumped pan on an open plain
Straight from the lodge
The camp where self-drivers leave the car
Davison's sits on the edge of the private concession, which makes it the handover point for guests driving themselves to the camps deeper in. Self-drivers heading for Little Makalolo leave their vehicle here under shelter and are collected from here by Wilderness.
- On the edge of the private concession rather than deep inside it.
- Self-drive vehicles for the inner camps are left here, under shelter.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Hwange National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside, and almost no booking site shows you that.
- Park entryThe rate for guests sleeping inside the park.
- $12per person, per day
- VehicleForeign-registered vehicle, at the staying-inside rate.
- $3per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $81 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Sleeping inside the boundary is what keeps that low. $12 if you sleep inside the park, against $24 a day for anyone driving in from outside.
The full fee schedule for Hwange National ParkRates
From $586 pppn. $983 to $1,012 from June to October. Roughly half Linkwasha's high-season rate on the same concession.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We have not been able to check whether meals, drinks and activities are included here, so treat this figure as the bed alone until it is.
Indicative 2026 rates from operators' own rate cards, gathered July 2026. Always confirm with the lodge. One thing to watch when comparing: some camps include ZimParks fees in their rate and some do not, which shifts the real gap by $12 to $36 per person per night.
