Zimbabwe

Changa Safari Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

On a nearby private concession of Lake Kariba's shores lies Changa Safari Camp, a special safari destination known for its tranquility, raw beauty, and diverse concentrations of wildlife.

Accommodations consist of eight luxury tents including two luxury family tents. Each tent is decorated with unique African influences including rustic wood and leather against crisp white linen and locally made furniture. The en suite bathroom features double vanities, a flush toilet, and a romantic outdoor shower and bathtub. A private veranda is the ideal place to relax and take in the magnificent views. The family tent is made up of two adjoining tents connected by a passageway. All the tents have mosquito netting and overhead fans.

The camp is set in a remote and secluded part of Matusadona National Park near Lake Kariba. The Park is bounded by two spectacular rivers, the Ume which meets the lake in a wide estuary and the Sanyati with its magnificent, steep sided, rocky gorge. Many of the animals were rescued from the rising waters of the newly-formed Lake Kariba by conservationist Rupert Fothergill during the much-publicized Operation Noah in 1958. There are an abundance of buffalo and elephant living here plus night ape, honey badger, civet, small spotted genet, mongoose, spotted hyena, wild cat, lion, leopard, black rhinoceros, zebra, warthog, grysbok, klipspringer, waterbuck, bushbuck, scrub hare, porcupine, vervet monkey, chacma baboon, jackal, and more.

Game drives explore Matusadona with the help of a knowledgeable tracker and guide in a 4×4 safari vehicle. Early morning and late afternoon game walks take a closer look at the local flora and fauna with the aid of an expert guide. Lake Kariba is an angler’s paradise with plenty of tilapia as well as tiger fish. Bird watching can be done on either a gentle boat cruise or a game drive in the morning or afternoon for a chance to spot ducks, herons, plovers, and storks they gather along the waterfront and darters and cormorants who use the dead trees as a base for their fishing raids. There are over 240 bird species in the park with a high number of fish eagles over the lake.

Sitting in the shade of mopane woodland on the edge of the lake, the main camp includes an open-air lounge with inviting chairs and sofas and a well-stocked bar. Delicious breakfasts and lunches are served al fresco on the main elevated deck or in the open-air dining room. A candlelit dinner is enjoyed at different locations each night. The refreshing swimming pool overlooks the lake. The main deck area leads to a lower deck, fire pit, and beach.
