Sapi Explorers Camp is nestled within a privately-run wildlife reserve – the 120 000 hectares Sapi Concession, next to Zimbabwe’s legendary Mana Pools National Park.
Experience
The camp lies quite literally a stone’s throw from the Zambezi River, where plenty of animal activity takes place.
Frequent sightings of big cats, wild dogs, elephants, hippos & buffalo are seen here & the area is abundant in birdlife. This wild & remote part of Zimbabwe is ideal for seasoned safari travellers looking for a unique & off-the-beaten-track safari experience.
The small & intimate Sapi attracts those looking for adventure. The camp is unfenced & overlooks the mighty Zambezi River, filled with hippos & basking crocodiles. Families with children over 12 are welcome here.
Stay
There are only 5 explorer-style tents, 1 of which is a 2-bedroom family unit.
Each tent features an en-suite bathroom including a bucket shower & flush toilet. The family tent consists of 2 bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, bucket shower & flush toilet. There is also a connecting lounge between these rooms.
The main area includes a large communal tent with comfortable sofas that flows out onto a soft beach that leads down to the river. There is also a small library, well-appointed bar & battery-recharging station.
Meals are served either inside or alfresco under the stars.
Activities
The standard of guiding at Sapi is exceptional. Expert guides & trackers will take guests on open 4x4 day & night drives, bush walks & canoe safaris down the river.
In addition, Sapi’s Young Explorers Programme offers children a full syllabus of bushcraft skills so that they can learn about animal calls & how to track animals.
