The family tent accommodations were excellent - comfortable, clean and views to the lake that made you never want to sleep. The food was delicious and the chef was able to happily satisfy the vegan in our group. The team was so thoughtful to recognize my parent’s anniversary and mom’s birthday making them feel very special. The game drives and walks were unbelievable and we are still in awe of all that we saw. The boat trip to the Gorge was great fun with a sunset we will never forget. Every detail was covered - even coffee breaks out in the bush. We absolutely recommend this camp if you are heading to Zimbabwe! More

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

The accommodation was classy and comfortable. The food was divine with the evening meal set in different exciting locations each evening.

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....
