Accommodation

Nestled in a grove of false mopane trees, nine, airy en-suite tents, including a family unit, make up the accommodation at Davison’s. Inspired by the natural palette beyond the camp, African décor and earthy tones create a calm, authentic atmosphere. From the vantage point of your tent, gaze out over the waterhole where a procession of wildlife comes to slake their thirst.
