Musango Safari Camp

The small Musango Safari Camp is situated on an island off the shores of Lake Kariba, near Matusadona National Park. It was set up in 1990 by the former head warden of Matusadona National Park, Steve Edwards – a Zimbabwean guide of considerable note who, with his partner, Wendy, still owns and manages the camp. Steve’s great knowledge goes far beyond the wildlife of the area. It also encompasses the local landscapes, ornithology and paleontology – and this breadth of interest is in some ways reflected in the wide variety of activities available at Musango.

The accommodation at Musango is clean, functional and unusual in design – but visitors are primarily attracted by the guiding skills of Steve and his small team, and for their knowledge of not just the flora and fauna, but also the wider cultural and conservation aspects of the area. The unique, almost beach-like setting of this lodge in Lake Kariba also makes an interesting contrast to most of Zimbabwe’s other safari camps.
