Nestled discreetly beneath a grove of false mopane trees, the remote Davison’s is found in the private Linkwasha Concession – one of the most prolific wildlife areas in Hwange National Park. Hidden within the shade of the treeline, this classic African tented camp, with eight light and airy tents and one family unit, overlooks an open plain and a waterhole that is a favourite drinking hole for elephant and buffalo.

The main area comprises a spacious lounge and dining room which leads out onto an expansive pine deck and an open campfire area, perfect for convivial evening musings or star gazing. The refreshing pool and its loungers are beautifully positioned for idle relaxation, while a small upper deck is an ideal location from which to watch wildlife at the waterhole.

Situated on a large private concession in the heart of the Zambezi Valley’s Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi looks out from the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. It is a remote, beautiful place with spectacular views of the broad flowing river, adjoining well-defined tree canopy and the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment over the border in Zambia.

Ten spacious and beautifully decorated en-suite tents, including two family rooms, nestle in the shade of the ana trees that are much loved by the elephants for their rich, nutritious seeds. A large central deck make up communal living spaces of camp, including an inviting fire pit for convivial evenings under the African skies. Other unique features include a pool which gazes out over the expansive river, an outdoor “bath with a view” in a secluded, scenic spot, and for the romantic, a Star Bed situated nearby overlooking a productive waterhole.

Wilderness Toka Leya is the perfect place to start, or end, your African safari. The interior design draws inspiration from the waters, wildlife and tranquillity of the Zambezi, as reflected in the design and furnishings. The colour palette and numerous décor pieces were chosen specifically to embrace Wilderness Toka Leya’s natural and cultural heritage.

Bespoke décor pieces influenced by the natural beauty of the Zambezi can be found throughout the camp, paying homage to the local community. These include Zambian basket light fittings boldly featured in the serene lounge and dining areas. The bar is clad in vibrant fabric featuring a bespoke Zambezi fish design, and is the ideal setting for watching the sun set in a glorious blaze reflected in the river.

Beanbags add a splash of colour and fun on the riverside beach, and offer the ultimate spot to unwind, right on the water’s edge.

Toka Leya’s sparkling infinity pool invites deep relaxation, while the spacious sundeck doubles as a romantic private dining venue. The convivial fire deck for night-time gatherings completes a well-rounded guest experience.
