About Chapungu Tented Bush Camp

Let your spirit fly free. Where the soul of bygone Africa meets the present. Chapungu is the Shona name for the Bateleur Eagle, the majestic bird that quarters the skies above our tented camp nestled deep in the savannah of Thornybush.

Here you can enjoy the elegance and style of a bygone era combined with all the trappings and convenience of modernity. Tranquil and intimate, the 8 en-suite air conditioned tents are washed with afternoon sunlight and colour, and offer outstanding bushveld views from their private decks, each with an outdoor bath.

Boma dinners are an occasion and an opportunity to savour the finest fare. A superb selection of wine is available in the lodge’s wine cellar. Settle around a log fire to recount the days’ game experiences before retiring to the lounge for a night-cap, or the comfort of your tent.

Enjoy a timeless African experience, where the eagles soar.

Accommodation Options

Tented accommodation
Each tent rests on a raised wooden deck, providing elevated vistas of rolling plains bathed in the amber glow of the midday sun, where darting birds tweet their greetings from scrubby acacias. A spotlight provides twenty-four hour access to your views and even the en-suite bathroom flows out onto a deck with a large bathtub, allowing you to submerge yourself in luxurious relaxation in the great outdoors. A sample of bath-time amenities is provided for your convenience and there is also a shower for quick rejuvenation. When you've absorbed your fill of the African sunshine, you can retreat to air-conditioned comfort and continue your vigil through glass paned doors, sustained by refreshment from the mini bar (on req.) and an unlimited supply of bottled water. Additional comforts to remind you that you are still in the present day include a tea and coffee station, complimentary sherry station, umbrella, hair-dryer and room safe. International adapters are available from reception. Plump king-sized beds will envelop you after the day’s adventures. Sink into slumber, cocooned in luxurious cotton linen, lulled by the stillness of the night and gentle whirring of the overhead fan.
