We (a group of 6) spent 3 nights at Chapungu and we all had a wonderful time. The tents are more than we expected, clean & well sized. The meals were great, with more than enough to fill any empty stomach!! Of course you go for the game drives not for food. The game drives were so much fun. We... more

We have spent 2 nights (out of a 6 nights safari trip in SA) at Chapungu. The camp is very intimist, and we were lucky to be with only 2 other friendly guests at the same time. 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

Chapungu was the first safari camp we have ever been to and we were not disappointed. We visited Chapungu for three nights on our honeymoon (Sept 08), before going on to a lodge in the Sabi Sands reserve. We were pleased we did the trips this way round, as the second lodge was superior to the tented camp at Chapungu... more

We loved Chapungu! The staff is friendly and available but not hovering. The luxury tents are a nice combination canvas walls but with high thread count sheets and a deep soft mattress and air conditioning. Ours had an outdoor tub on the deck but no outdoor shower. The game drives were amazing. We saw loads of animals and the rangers... more

Stayed for two nights in Feb 2008, flying in from the UK and then straight on to Hoedspruit (wonderful little airport with the most amazing lounges!!). 30 minute drive over tarmac and gravel roads to the lodge - last bit quite bumpy. Long day but made most welcome and then out on a game drive - mch smoother then the... more

When one visits the Kruger National Park, the primary purpose is to see the wildlife found in the park. Chapungu and the Thornybush Game Reserve provided that experience at a level we did never expected. The guides and trackers know the park very well and were practically able to provide animal encounters “on demand.” We found the “Big 5” in... more
