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!

Perhaps Chundu’s best asset is its location. Chundu Island is located in the heart of the Zambezi National Park, only 21 km from Zimbabwe’s majestic Victoria Falls. The island is superbly positioned on the Zambezi River and only accessible by boat.

In contrast with the hustle and bustle of Vic Falls, a town that caters to both the adrenaline junkies and the curious, indulge instead in deliciously chilled island life.  Chundu Island is a lodge with sole access to the beautiful 1.4 km long island on the mighty Zambezi River, and is a completely different way of experiencing both river life and the Victoria Falls. 

There is a lot to do both on the water and on land:  Glorious sunset cruises with snacks and cocktails, the contrasting thrill and peace of canoeing on the river, bird watching, fishing, visiting Victoria Falls, exciting game drives and bush walks in the Zambezi National Park, all under the direction and care of professional and experienced guides. 

The lodge is built in among the trees and has spacious rooms with fabulous views over the river into the Zambezi National Park or the banks of the river on the Zambian side. All rooms are attractively furnished and have outdoor shower and a deck with views over the river. There’s a restaurant and bar, swimming pool and plenty space to relax between adventures.

Chundu Island

Victoria Falls

Overlooking the Zambezi National Park, the 72-room Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is just 4km from the majestic Victoria Falls. 

Its sunset-facing position offers guests not only stunning and evocative views but also a unique wildlife experience, as the location is renowned for its views over a wildlife-rich watering hole, visited by herds of elephant, buffalo and kudu. Along the river itself, hippo, elephants, crocodiles and an abundance of birdlife can be experienced from the comfort of a river cruise, G&T in hand!

The lodge is built of thatch and timber, rising several levels, giving the impression of a vast open-plan tree house. The central area features the MaKuwa-Kuwa Restaurant, the famous Buffalo Bar, a two-tiered swimming pool and a fitness centre. 

Guests can also enjoy a regular complimentary shuttle bus to the town centre, craft markets and the Victoria Falls Rainforest and, of course, to locations to see the Victoria Falls close up.

Rooms are attractively furnished and have a private balcony overlooking the Zambezi National Park, air conditioning, a fan, tea and coffee-making facilities and a safe. The sunsets from the balcony are very special.

Victoria Falls Safari Lodge

Victoria Falls

Popularly known as “the Grand Old Lady of the Falls”, the Victoria Falls Hotel is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, a World Heritage site. A member of the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group, this Edwardian-style hotel, built in 1904, has recently been refurbished to combine the charm of the old with the convenience of the new.

Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, the hotel provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. The famous Victoria Falls are within walking distance and “the smoke that thunders” or “Mosi-O-Tunya” in the local dialect, is audible and visible from this luxurious landmark. You might even feel a bit of spray as you walk in the gardens.

There’s a choice of restaurants and a bar, a swimming pool, a shop, a spacious lounge area and pretty gardens. The hotel can also help arrange several tours of the area. Of course, afternoon tea on the terrace is an essential part of any stay!

The rooms are all air-conditioned and have a television, safe, and tea and coffee-making facilities.

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.
