Sango Tented Expedition Camp

Share this post

Sango Tented Expedition Camp is located in the SAVE Valley Conservancy in the South Eastern part of Zimbabwe.  The Conservancy was set up to establish a sanctuary for the intensive protection of black and white rhino and has become one of Africa’s most successful black rhino breeding programmes.  It is also one of the rare locations in Zimbabwe where you have a chance of seeing all of the “big five.”

Sango is located in the northern section of the Conservancy.  Quickest access is via the main Masvingo  – Mutare road (A9) to the north, but if you are traveling from Bulawayo, then the A10 road from Chiredzi to Chisimbanje would be an option. The roads in the conservancy are dirt, but well maintained.  There is an airstrip too for those wanting to fly in, located at S20 28 0 – E032 12 00 with a runway of 1000m which can accommodate anything from a Cessna 207 to a King Air.

This camp is a stunning little camp located on Sango, which is a privately owned 60,000 hectare property in the Save Valley Conservancy.   Sango Tented Expedition Camp consists of three large comfortable Deluxe Sahara tents with open air bathrooms attached. The tents inside are comfortable and simple but very chic.   The en-suite consists of a flush toilet, a traditional bucket shower, a basin as well as a teak vanity in each bathroom.   Each tented bedroom has an open front patio area overlooking the bush, with a couple of chairs in which to unwind while enjoying the view. 

There is a wonderful central dining area and bar/fireplace where guests can relax, soak up and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and amazing night skys.  Water is supplied by borehole and is therefore safe to drink.  For guests travelling with valuables, a safe is located in the central area where items can be locked up. 

The camp is NOT linked to the national grid, so power is supplied via solar.  The camp does have multi-plug adaptor for charging of mobile devices.  Water is heated on wood boilers and delivered to the tents in buckets.

What makes Sango so unique is the opportunity to be guided by one of Zimbabwe’s top professional guides who will be able to offer you private guiding, private game drives and walks as your activities while in camp.  This tented camp is a little gem of a camp surrounded by large herds of giraffe, buffalo, elephant, black and white rhino, wild dogs, impala, kudu, eland, amazing birdlife and so much more.

We had a fantastic experience with Bryony and her team. Bryony is clearly knowledgeable about the region and guided us through our options and the Lake Kariba houseboat booking and choices. We had a fantastic time and I would thoroughly recommend using Heartveld.

We have just had an amazing 6 nights on Tambarara houseboat organised by Heartveld Adventures. The boat was very comfortable and the staff were excellent. The captain, Reg, was very professional and helpful, the chef cooked delicious meals, the barman kept our drinks flowing, the cleaners left animals made from our towels on our beds at night and the guys on the tender boat were so good with the boys aged 3, 5, 7 and 9 showing them what to do and putting on worms, for us as well. Highly recommended.

The trip was all you could ask for when you want to relax and forget about the world. Captain Godrey and his team consisting Pilot, Chef Takesure and Silas made our stay comfortable and easy. The food was flavourful and filling. You couldn’t say no to Chef Takesure’s meals. Silas kept our cooler box ready every day because he knew we loved our drinks cold and first thing in the morning. Pilot and Captain Godfrey took us to amazing views, magical sunset cruises and helped me find all the crocodiles I was looking for. I totally recommend Heartveld Adventures for all your Kariba fantasies! ☀️⛴️🍹#February2025

Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then! Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic! I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara, Cheers and thanks again Glenn and Family.

Heartveld Adventures really goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. They really think of everything that would be needed for a great holiday. We've been on Driftwood Houseboat twice and am going on the African Queen in September 24. Really is an amazing experience with amazing staff, very helpful and caring about your comfort and enjoyment. Thank you so much 💖

Came across Heartveld Adventures blog by chance whilst trying to plan a holiday adventure in Zimbabwe.Offloaded my thoughts to Bryony, and a well sorted package with more than I asked for was presented.Stopped looking all over the internet for any possible deals, as this was the DEAL.If your intention is to go to Zimbabwe and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst accommodated in places you wouldn't have thought of and known existed, then save yourself the trouble, and get hold of Heartveld Adventures. Their service is what makes the country keeps going.Well done Bryony
