About
Musangano Lodge sits off the Champion Mine Road near Odzi, outside Mutare, with a campground alongside its chalets, villas and restaurant. It suits campers after peace and quiet within reach of the Eastern Highlands, and solo travellers seem at ease here too.
The calm is what reviewers remember. Several describe a clean, well-kept property where the only noise is birdsong, and staff are praised in almost every review as friendly and helpful. One solo traveller slept in a safari tent on the campsite, found it comfortable and spent the evenings under the stars. Walking is a big part of a stay: guests mention three well-marked trails, and one warns that the climb to the beacon up the mountain is tiring. The restaurant earns steady praise, including for local dishes and vegetarian options, so you needn't cook every night. One reviewer points out that Lake Alexander and the Bunga and Vumba reserves are within easy reach.
On access, one guest drove in with an off-road car and found the road not too bad. Musangano holds 4.7 from over 450 Google reviews.
