This thoughtfully paced safari combines three iconic destinations to showcase the very best of southern Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, and classic safari atmosphere. Beginning along the Chobe River, three nights at Chobe Elephant Camp offer exceptional elephant encounters, riverfront game viewing, and a relaxed introduction to safari life in one of Africa’s most game-rich regions. You then cross into Zimbabwe for two nights at Pioneers Lodge, ideally located to explore the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls. Here, thrilling activities and gentle moments of reflection blend seamlessly, from guided Falls visits to sunset cruises on the Zambezi. The journey concludes with four nights at Davison’s Camp, set in a private concession within Hwange National Park. Known for its outstanding predator sightings and classic safari feel, Davison’s delivers immersive game drives, walking safaris, and a deep connection to Zimbabwe’s wild heart—an unforgettable finale to a beautifully balanced African adventure.
Situated on a rocky ridge overlooking the spectacular Chobe River Floodplains, Chobe Elephant Camp offers guests ample opportunities to explore the wild surroundings while providing a stunning viewpoint onto one of Botswana’s renowned reserve parks. This eco-friendly lodge presents an original contemporary African design reminiscent of the quintessential sub-Saharan farmsteads.
A variety of activities are on offer including morning or afternoon game drives in the open safari vehicles for those that seek to spot wildlife. A day trip can be arranged for wildlife sightings by canoe along the Chobe floodplain or by boat on the Chobe River, along with excursions to the nearby village to get introduced to the local culture. The lodge is accessible by air via Kasane Airport, Victoria Falls or Livingstone Airports or by road from Savuti, Caprivi or Kasane, making the lodge an ideally positioned choice for most safari itineraries.
Surrounded by lush gardens and manicured lawns, this 50-room lodge offers plenty of space, comfort, and charm. Each room is tastefully decorated in a classic style and overlooks the gardens, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere.
All rooms come with air conditioning, ceiling fans, a safe, mosquito nets, tea and coffee-making facilities, multi-plugs, and good lighting. Each has its own en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet, and double vanity.
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.
