A remote camp in Northern Zimbabwe, Changa Safari Camp is an ideal location for a wild safari experience.
Located on the banks of Lake Kariba, the world’s largest man-made lake, is the intimate and serene Changa Safari Camp. The camp is in a private concession within Zimbabwe's Matusadona National Park, an area teeming with a diverse range of wildlife. Changa also has access to nearly 4 km of the stunning Lake Kariba’s shoreline, and its environment, virtually untouched by human activity provides guests with a true wild safari experience. The camp is accessed by flying over Lake Kariba (such fantastic views) followed by a 15 minutes road transfer.
The accommodation comprises six standard tents and eight luxury tents with either double or twin beds. The camp also offers two family tents, which consist of two tents that are interconnected. Each tent contains both indoor and outdoor bathroom facilities, a private deck with a seating area, plenty of storage space and all have stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Main areas include a dining room, an open sided lounge and bar area with wifi access and a curio shop. There is also a fire pit and swimming pool.
Activities include game drives in the mornings and afternoons, which provide an ideal opportunity to do some wildlife photography. A different but just as special way to experience the African bush is by embarking on a bush walk with an experienced guide. These are a fantastic way to experience the African bush as you can get quite close to the animals and pick up lots of fantastic knowledge about them and their environment. Alternatively, you can go on a boat excursion to Sanyati Gorge or go Tiger Fishing in Lake Kariba.

January
January is an excellent time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives.
February
February is the best time for birders. The days are warm, with the risk of afternoon rain showers, but they clear as fast as they arrive.
March
If you want to witness Vic Falls at its fullest, March is the month to visit, with huge volumes of spray, it is perfect if you want to see the gorges and geology of the area.
April
The world famous Mana Pools re-open in April. The days feel fresher as the wet season ends leaving the landscapes looking lush green, making it perfect for walking safaris.
May
In May, the days continue to feel fresh and bright making it a perfect time to venture out on walking safaris.
June
June heralds the return of winter, nights turn colder and the temperature dips - take plenty of layers as the temperature can drop below freezing. It is the perfect time for photographers to explore Hwange National Park before the busy holiday period.
July
Winter temperatures continue into July so take plenty of layers. Much like June, it is perfect for photographers looking to view wildlife from a different angle.
August
If you want clear, bright blue skies and continuous wildlife sightings, August is the month for you. Camps are likely to be fuller, however, if you visit private concessions you can still experience exclusivity and no crowds.
September
Much like August, September is an amazing time for wildlife spotting and weather, in particular it is considered the best time of year to see elephant herds in Hwange National Park.
October
In October wildlife sightings are at their peak as the dry season ends. If you travel during this month you can experience hot days with temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees.
November
November is the best time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives. It is low season and one of the best times to go white water rafting at Vic Falls, the volume and speed of the water is reduced exposing the rapids.
December
In December the days are warm with the risk of rain showers mid afternoon. The rivers rise and dependant on water levels travellers can visit 'devils pool' at Vic Falls, providing high excitement and a head for heights needed if you want to get close to the drop off.
