The suites in the main lodge are lovely, and there are special programmes for kids. For couples wanting romance, Chapungu is a luxury camp with 8 air-conditioned, en-suite tents. After a day's game viewing, you'll return there for a 3-course dinner with fine South African wines or a buffet-style barbecue. Whichever camp you choose, highlights include exciting night-time game drives and informative bush walks.
