Musango Safari Camp

A double-decker Swiss-Family Robinson-esque thatched structure sits at the centre of camp. At the base you'll find the reception area, an amply furnished lounge and dining room with a specially-built crescent-shaped dining table where the particularly lively communal evening meals are served. Upstairs is a spacious open-sided deck with inspiring views over the lake where breakfast and brunch are usually served. Here, extra seating allows for comfortable midday armchair or sleeping safaris. Beneath this area is a small swimming pool and poolside patio, a hammock and more outdoor seating.

Do as much or as little as you like here - after all, you're on island time. As with a typical safari, however, the camp schedule is organized around a morning and afternoon activity where you'll have several options. Boat trips get you up close to hippos and elephants especially, as well as the myriad of wildlife that come to the water's edge. Fishing is a favorite amongst seasoned anglers and novices alike. A walk with Steve reveals the invisible, interdependent web of the area's geography, flora and fauna. Musango was involved in the re-introduction of black rhino into the national park and offers an on-foot tracking safari, when appropriate. Much of what you do will be determined by your guide's expert discretion and the time of year.
