An extension of Chilojo Bush Camp, this adventure takes you on a multi-day walking safari along the Runde River in Gonarezhou that changes location each day. It affords you the opportunity to cover more ground in this scenic park and explore its many hidden treasures.

This experience utilized a ‘fly camp’ which is moved and cached ahead of the group each day which means no heavy backpacks to carry. Simply carry a small day pack to see you through the day. On arrival at the new location, to maintain the expedition feeling, the camp is not yet setup and requires each guest to participate which brings the sense of accomplishment without the physical demands.

The tents themselves are small dome tents made out of a finely meshed net. This provides a barrier from the smaller critters which could affect a good night’s rest, but also allows the tent to be transparent allowing for uninterrupted starry sky’s – pure magic! Inside the tents are comfortable bedrolls with cotton linen, duvets and feather pillows. The bathing facilities are either a wash in the river or a bucket shower, whilst the toilets are a shared short-drop.

Breakfast and dinners are prepared and served in camp whilst lunch is almost always enjoyed whilst out in the bush.

If you are up for it, this can be one of the best safari experiences possible and is high on our recommendations list!
