Amazing relaxing stay. The Staff were always smiling and so friendly as usual and made us feel at home. Luke and Jaison's cocktails were delicious, and the food was really... read more enjoyable. Thank you for a relaxing few days

  Room 3 with a great view over the lake. The staff were excellent always helpful and couldn't do enough, Amazing food all three days we stayed. Elephant and Leopard seen... read more in camp whilst we were there but we were asleep. Having said that we saw Elephants , Impala, Common Duiker , Steenbok, Warthogs, Tortoises no end of birds and raptors, highlight seeing a Cheeetah!! We had Greg as our guide absolutely amazing, with Cher as overseer of the operation couldn't find fault . AI brilliant and with a laundry service included. Thanks

  Changa was such a beautiful camp. The staff were so welcoming, polite and friendly, they would greet you at all times and ask how your day was going. The experiences/activities... read more were brilliant. The camp isn’t massive so you’re never surrounded by too many people. Your activities are usually just yourself and maybe one other couple so you really get a personalised experience. On each activity you have a picnic with yummy snacks and drinks of your choice. We saw so many elephants and baby ones too! The swimming pool was so warm and inviting. I would specially like to mention the chef Tanaka, he was outstanding. I am gluten free and every meal he made for the other guests he made an exact gluten free version- no silly alternatives! I had battered fish, pancakes, bread, cake. He couldn’t have done better if he tried! And I never felt sick once so he really knew his stuff with gluten. Before each meal he takes the time to come explain what you’ll be having and how he made it, his meals are so different and tasty! I would definitely advise going All Inclusive, this includes activities and all drinks! They serve the most amazing ice tea... and every morning you get a tray of tea or coffee brought to your tent for you to have while you wake up and get read for the day. The tents were beautiful and clean, always had hot water (not that you need hot water it was very good weather you only need cold water most of the time) Sometimes it’s not about the 5* look of the place, it’s about the experience and they way you feel when there. A feeling I’ll never forget and always want to return to!

  Changa provides an island sanctuary within reach of locals and tourists alike. No problem too big or small, the staff are fantastic and so helpful, whether it's recreating your favourite... read more meal or lending you a fishing rod .. and a prop . Absolutely stunning accommodation and a pool to die for - you can't ask for a better Kariba break!

Our walking safari tour with Daffy was magical and our fishing/boating adventures with Kenneth were so fun! We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Angus and Pam. What great people with a great vision!

  Changa gave us a memorable romantic Valentine's weekend. We loved the special touches of a drawn bubble bath after our fishing trip. Chef Tanakas fantastic gourmet meals left us... read more looking forward to his next creation. The friendly staff made us feel at home in the bush. You can spend an entire day entertained with the panaramic views of the "pink" beachfront sands, with elephants and impala wandering across and the calls of fish eagles from the tree stumps in the lake.

  Changa was like another world. It is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Kariba and the camp itself was very well designed. The rooms, food and game... read more viewing were all fantastic but I would say the highlight was the staff team. They were kind, friendly and went out of their way to make our holiday such a memorable one. Thank you!

  We arrived on our houseboat the Conquest and spent 3 nights there the place was amazing and clean ,excellent service from every member of staff they had arranged Halal... read more meals from a source we know which was a plus so i would recommend to the muslim community also being in the Matusadona national park was a bonus on the game drive we saw a herd of elephants with there young babies a massive herd of baffalo of around 200 plus and then the epic was nearby a pride of 18 lions with the male lion sitting on a mound looking handsome staring at the Buffalo while the females with a few cubs eyeing out the next meal lots of impala

  After 8 days in Mana Pools, we flew to Changa Safari Camp in the Matusadona National Park.

The camp is very well set and the highlight is the boat... read more trip on Lake Kariba to view different sceneries and wildlife. Hippo, chrocodiles, elephants, ienas....
Excellent food and services with experienced guides showing you the park and lake.

I enjoyed 3 night there and reccomend if going to lake Kariba.

  We had a fantastic time at Changa. We spent 3 nights during the festive season 2021. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, ready with refreshing drinks and... read more a nice lunch after the boat transfer. We started that first afternoon with a game drive/sundowner. Changa is located in a beautiful portion of Matusadona facing the water and hills, and for the game drives, you are afforded with all kinds of great views of wildlife framed by the hills and lake. Great snacks and drinks (try the mojito!) for your sundowner. The two guides we used during our time were Greg and Godrick. Both fantastic, knowledgeable guides who explained things in an easily comprehensible way. We recommend the Sanyati gorge boat trip for a scenic afternoon boat cruise, and a bush walk to observe the kinds of things you would not normally notice from a game drive vehicle. Back at camp, the chalets are fantastic. Comfortable, with overhead fans and a mosquito net to protect from mosquitoes during the summer/wet season. Outdoor bath to relax in! very spacious chalets. With his and hers sinks so we didn’t have to share Best of all, early morning filter coffee delivery to prepare for the sunrise game drive departures! The food was also great. They accommodated our vegetarian/pescatarian diet nicely. Tried the unusual but surprisingly really good thyme panna cotta. A testament to the chef (Douglas) and his abilities and creativity....

All in all, fantastic lodge in the under-visited and under-appreciated Matusadona national park. We highly recommend Changa. More

  My two sons, ages 21 & 28, visited Changa for 4 days and what an incredible experience. I'll start with everyone that works at Change, they are... read more the friendliest most helpful people in the world and went above and beyond to ensure we had the time of our lives. All smiles, all day!

The rooms are amazing, you would never know you are in a tent. The food is incredible and you eat so many times a day its impossible to go hungry. The drinks at the bar or siting ny the pool, top notch! The safaris, on foot, by jeep or on the boat are mid boggling. The amount of wildlife in this area is just so vast and diverse!

Visiting Changa was the last stop on our first ever trip to Arica, something I have dreamt about since I was a little boy and everyone/everything at Changa exceeded expectations

Thank you so much! More

  If you want to be right in the bush but also have the lake close by, then this is THE place to go. The whole stay was so very good... read more that i could say almost faultless. All staff were fantastic at their jobs. With such friendliness and humour and knowledge. Food was incredible and more than ample. The swimming pool was a welcomed blessing in the October heat and always remained very cool and refreshing. I would highly recommend Changa to anyone. I give it 5 stars. Although i wouldn't like to have taken small children. It's wild.

  I spent an amazing vacation at Changa and the place blew me away. Changa beautifully blends with the environment giving you a sense of being one with nature. There was... read more lots to see, elephants, eland, zebra, bushbabies at the bar, a lone leopard and lots of birds. The days on the pool drinking those G&T with just a touch of pink...the nights by the fire after a hearty dinner... the beautiful sunset during the game drive, fishing on the Kariba and Sanyati gorge. Its definitely a place for all, families the solo traveler, the romantic and the first timer in the wild. Thanks to Claire and the team for creating everlasting memories for us.

  We spent a weekend in June 2021 and it was a much needed rest and recuperation break.

The outside sitting area outside our suite allowed me to watch hippos,... read more sunrise and sunset. The boat transfer was quite relaxing after the long drive from Harare. The Gorge cruise is a must and so is the regular sunset cruise.

The meals were fresh and you always looked forward to the next sitting - barbeque night was priceless.

The pool area was my other favourite spot, the day bed will lull to a much needed power nap.
