Musango Safari Camp

Musango Safari Camp

Lake Kariba

Sitting just off the shoreline of the lesser-known, and therefore peaceful Matusadona National Park, the camp is accessible by a short flight from Victoria Falls or Harare to Bumi Hills. Its remote beauty, and being family run, make it a firm favourite with those seeking comfort and relaxation. 

Activities from the camp are tailored to provide an unrivalled experience, and there is so much to do you may well want to stay longer, or come back another time. Join the experienced and highly trained guides on walking safaris, ’Big 5’ game drives, bird watching, fishing on Lake Kariba, beach combing, stargazing, small-boat game-cruises, natural history trails, and many more activities. 

Getting out on the water is very much part of the experience, and exploring the many waterways of the area is such a peaceful and relaxing way of getting close to the abundance of wildlife, including birds, that inhabit the area. Whether it is a captivating encounter with elephants on the shoreline or the mesmerizing call of a fish eagle, Musango Safari Camp brings you closer to the untamed beauty of Lake Kariba. 

The accommodation at Musango consists of six, twin, luxurious safari tents, each with an en-suite bathroom built of natural stone. Additionally, there are 2 honeymoon suits with small plunge pools and, for families, the camp will put up kid's tents alongside the established tents. All the tented rooms are set in thick forest and face east over the lake, towards the rising sun.

Meals are taken "family style", with all guests on one table, although there is always the option for a more reomantic table. 

For the more adventurous, there is "Island Camp", where you can truly get away from civilisation. Ask us for more details!

This is a simple safari camp located in the Ikoma open area, strategically positioned on the path of the annual Great Migration between the Serengeti National Park and the Grumeti Game Reserve in northern Tanzania. This prime location offers you an authentic and immersive wildlife experience in one of Africa’s most celebrated ecosystems. 

The camp consists of 35 spacious “Meru” tents, each raised on a wooden platform and equipped with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding bush where wildlife frequently roams. The central restaurant and bar area boasts a large campfire – an ideal spot to unwind with a chilled drink after a long day of exciting game viewing.

Proximity to the Serengeti National Park allows easy access to some of the best game viewing in the region.  Yet being outside the park boundaries also means that you can enjoy unique activities not permitted within the park, such as night game drives and guided walking safaris. These experiences offer a different perspective on the African bush, you can spot nocturnal animals like leopards, hyenas, and bush babies or track wildlife on foot with an experienced guide.

The camp is particularly popular during the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles pass through the area, followed closely by predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles. Even outside the migration season, the Ikoma region is teeming with wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, and a variety of antelope species. Birdwatching is also exceptional, with over 500 bird species recorded in the area.

Ikoma Tented Camp

North Central Serengeti

Located just outside the boundary of Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania. This intimate camp offers a genuine wilderness experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the country.  

There are 21 spacious canvas tents, each set on a raised wooden platform and with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. The verandas have sweeping views of the bush, where you may spot wildlife wandering nearby. The camp also has a swimming pool and comfortable public areas, including a bar / dining area. 

One of the main attractions of the camp is its proximity to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's premier wildlife destinations. The park is renowned for its large elephant population, with herds of up to 300 individuals often seen migrating through the park. On guided game drives you may encounter a diverse range of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, and zebra. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers, boasting over 550 species of birds, including the striking Kori bustard and the colourful lilac-breasted roller.

In addition to game drives, the camp offers guided walking safaris, where you can explore the surroundings on foot, accompanied by an experienced guide. These walks provide a more intimate perspective on the flora and fauna of the region, as well as insights into the smaller creatures often overlooked during a game drive. The camp’s bar and lounge provide a relaxing atmosphere to unwind with a drink after a day of adventure.

The lodge is set in 30 acres of grounds, near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set against the breath-taking backdrop of the highlands, this boutique lodge offers a wildlife experience in one of Africa's most remarkable natural environments. The Ngorongoro region is famed for its dramatic landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and extraordinary concentration of wildlife. 

One of the lodge's highlights is its proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas and a haven for wildlife. The crater floor is home to an incredible diversity of species, including the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. On game drives into the crater, you might also see hyenas, zebras, wildebeest, and a variety of antelope. The area is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 500 species recorded in the region. 

In between game drives, there’s a pool for a refreshing dip, a gym, a TV lounge and a spa. 

In addition to game drives, the lodge offers guided walking tours, cultural experiences with the Maasai people, and excursions to nearby attractions such as the Olduvai Gorge, known as the "Cradle of Mankind."

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
