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!

Shultz. Keekorok means ‘place of black trees’ in the local Maasai language and is in an area with plenty of wildlife. At any time of year, the surrounding landscape is teeming with wildlife, including all the ‘Big 5’ and mover 400 species of bird.

Maasai Mara

Located in the heart of the iconic Maasai Mara this simple lodge offers a welcome stop on your safari. Sitting on the banks of the Talek river it has been built to blend in with the natural surroundings. It’s conveniently located for going out on game drives and in between adventures there’s a lovely pool area to relax in. 

The grounds of the Mara Simba stretch for almost a kilometre along the riverbank and are ideal for spotting all manner of game, that come to drink on the river’s edge. During the great migration over a million wildebeest and 300,000 zebra pass by to cross the Mara River.  
The pretty landscaped gardens around the lodge are filled with indigenous trees and are home a great variety of birds and butterflies.  

There’s a swimming pool, as well as a restaurant and bar. The lodge is decorated in traditional Maasai style and both the public areas and rooms give you a real feeling of Africa.

Maasai Mara

The lodge is located on the shores of Lake Naivasha in the Rift Valley, one of two freshwater lakes, the other being Lake Baringo. Sitting on 120 acres with acacia trees, giraffes, and vervet monkeys wandering freely in the gardens, the lodge feels like its own little paradise. At nighttime, the hippos come to graze on the grass which keeps it nice and trimmed! You’re a little over an hour by road from Nairobi and this is a great spot to unwind after travel and before you commence your safari adventures. 
The rooms are comfortable with ceiling fans, tea and coffee-making facilities, room safe and either a balcony or terrace. There’s also a restaurant, bar swimming pool and a tennis court. Activities include nature walks, bird watching, cycling, and day trips to Cresent Island can be arranged. With over 1,500 hippos in the area, you are almost guaranteed to see one. 

An interesting historical fact is that in the 1930’s flying boats en route from Durban to London used to make a stop on the lake for refuelling and refreshment, not sure what the ancestors of the hippos and flamingos made of their flying visit! The evenings can be cool here so do take a sweatshirt or light fleece.

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.
