Just back from 3 days at the camp. Seamless transfers delivered us to the lodge in time for lunch prior to our first game drive. Enjoyed 6 game drives in all, Brendon and Derek ensured we had the best view of the amazing animals. Brendon's intimate knowledge of the bush and the animals added to the experience. Back at camp... more

My travel agent recommended Chapungu when we wanted somewhere else to go with our three nights in Sabi Sands and I am so pleased that she did. We stayed there for 3 nights in September. The eight tents in the lodge are all set out to provide complete privacy. The tents are very comfortable and provide comfy beds, robes, tea... more

The tents are wide, nicely furnished, with a comfortable bathroom and an outdoor bath tub nearly in the bush. There was a king... more

We did a safari at christmas/new years starting at Elephant Plains and then going to Chapungu. When we were booking the trip there were few reviews about Chapungu so I was a little worried that the safari would not as good as Elephant Plains. On the contrary Chapungu turned out to be amazing! The rooms are wonderful, the food was... more

Chapungu was just great. Game drives - you will see everything and more. The food is great. The staff is great. The tents (rooms) are great. Now we were there when the outside temp was 105 F so the rooms were hot during the day - fortunately the pool is wonderful. What was most enjoyable was the communal setting (and... more

When you book a lodge like this in a private game reserve you are bound to go there with high expectations ... to make it short: Chapungu and the Thornybush Reserve did not disappoint us at all. From the first moment on we were made feel at home, from our welcome to our farewell, also including the game drives the... more
