About This Adventure Destination

In the heart of Zimbabwe, along the awe-inspiring shores of Lake Kariba, lies Changa Safari Camp—a gateway to wildlife adventures in the magnificent Matusadona National Park. This captivating destination offers an unparalleled fusion of water and wilderness, making it a unique spot within the Kariba region. Travelers are drawn to its blend of scenic landscapes, diverse wildlife, and serene waters, setting the stage for unforgettable experiences.

Changa Safari Camp is nestled within a private concession, offering both land and water-based game viewing. The camp is enveloped by the skeletal branches of submerged ancient trees, which rise from the lake, silhouetted against Zimbabwe’s vast horizons. This area is a haven for birdwatchers and fishing enthusiasts, with the lake housing a rich tapestry of fish, including the notorious Tiger Fish. Visitors are often greeted by the sight of elephants bathing in the waters, adding to the camp’s charm.

Established as part of a conservation initiative, Matusadona National Park promises sightings of diverse wildlife, including buffalo, elephants, and lions. The park is historically significant for movements to protect endangered species within its boundaries. With riveting sunsets painting the skies, Changa Safari Camp is more than just a retreat—it's a complete immersion into the raw beauty of Zimbabwe's landscapes.

Changa Safari Camp was such an interesting environment right on Lake Kariba. Even though the water level was really low, we LOVED our afternoon water activities. We enjoyed fishing with Kenny and a gorge trip with Crispin (the gorge is a must-do, so many hippos and crocodiles). Our great guide Toppers gave us interesting information on animals—it was like traveling with a wildlife biologist. While we found the food here a little less great than other camps, I’m so glad we had the experience. The team here even gave us an incredible sundowner to celebrate our anniversary, it was so thoughtful.
