Lagoon Camp lies on the shady banks of the Kwando River among tall and ancient African Ebony and Marula trees, under the watchful gaze of the resident hippos.

Each tent comprises a bedroom area with a spacious bathroom en suite. The bathroom has a double basin set in an indigenous Mukwa wood stand and a flush loo.

The spacious outdoor reeded showers capture the essence of Africa that is Kwando

The tents are furnished in the best teak furniture that Zimbabwean master craftsmen can create.

The shady cool interiors are produced by a canvas flysheet under reeds, which are also set under massive Ebony and Marula trees with shady lawns. 

A small plunge pool is available to cool off during the long summer days. The resident hippos entertain our guests as they sit in the deck chairs on the decks in front of their tents.

Guests arrive from the airstrip through open plains into our shaded reception area and amble into the peaceful lounge, dinning and bar area, under thatch.  They continue through the thatched dinning area onto the pathways leading to their personal hideaway and tent. 

Their view is of expansive Africa over the peaceful lagoon and reedbeds that lead to the Kwando-Linyanti flood plain system. 

This system is an intricate labyrinth of waterways, reedbeds, islands, floodplains, bush, scrub and trees.  However, the river system around Lagoon camp is a maze of ox bow lakes, fossil riverbeds, reedbeds and riverine forests.

Lagoon offers regular and reliable sightings of elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, tsessebe, impala, wildebeest, buffalo and waterbuck in stunning settings. 

Sudden lines of tall lead wood trees demarcate the flood plains, many hundreds of years old.

Shady grasslands give way to the striking silver cluster leaf woodlands that are tended by the elephant, maintaining the characteristic broken gardens effect.
