Musango Safari Camp

Elephant spurting water at Musango canoe

Situated just off the shoreline of the Matusadona National Park, on its own island on Lake Kariba, Musango Safari Camp is an exclusive 16 bed, owner-run camp. Just a short flight away from Victoria Falls or Kariba, Musango offers an abundance of both wildlife and bird life, with the largest selection of activities available anywhere, or the option to simply relax.

From walking safaris and big 5 game drives, to tiger fishing on Lake Kariba; our guests can encounter the abundant wildlife in a multitude of ways. Activities are fun, informal and operated by trained and experienced guides. Whether you choose to fill your day exploring the area, or simply relaxing and soaking up the ambiance of wild Africa, our staff are happy to accommodate guests' every wish.

Owner, Steve Edwards, worked for the Department of National Parks and Wild Life Management for 18 years, three of which he spent as Warden of Matusadona National Park. When he retired from service in 1990, he followed his dream by setting up Musango. Steve has a deep knowledge of the bush and a quiet demeanor that will leave you feeling safe even when you are walking with lion, buffalo and rhino. He is also an avid photographer and keen bird watcher, and, since discovering a dinosaur fossil site in the Matusadona National Park, he is fascinated by paleontology.
