Chiawa Camp is located on the banks of the Zambezi River, in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park. The thatched and tented camp is shaded by a forest of mahogany and acacia trees and enjoys marvelous views over the Zambezi River Valley. Set out on day and night game drives, and guided walks to view lions, leopards, and buffalo.

Embark on river cruises or canoeing excursions to view elephants and hippos at close quarters. Anglers will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of catching (and releasing) the famous tiger fish. Alternatively, relax on the deck of your tent or in the camp's observation deck to observe the wildlife.

Chiawa has a fantastic position from which to enjoy kayaking along the Zambezi's easy-going canals; your guide will paddle you along as you enjoy watching elephants, water monitors, vervet monkeys and an endless parade of birds go about life on the riverbank. Chiawa also has a sizable swimming pool and an open-air gym with river views where you can spin off delicious meals and treats!

Facilities

Spend an afternoon beside the pool on the upstairs deck where you can enjoy a refreshing drink and the view over the river. Head to the swimming pool to pass the heat of the afternoon or work up an appetite in the open-air gym, which has free weights and a stationary bike.

Dining

The chefs at Chiawa Camp take immense pride in preparing delicious cuisine, be it a scrumptious bush breakfast, a secluded picnic lunch, or a romantic dinner on an island in the Zambezi.

Breakfast and lunch are usually served in the open, and vary from a plated meal or a delicious buffet, depending on the day's activities. Dinner is a more formal affair and consists of a 4-course meal served under the stars at the boma or on a sandbank in the Zambezi River.
