Old Mondoro – An Authentic Safari Retreat on the Zambezi

A Moonlight Tours Expedition Exclusive Experience

Perched along the untamed banks of the Zambezi River, where towering acacia trees draw herds of elephants, Old Mondoro embodies the essence of a raw and authentic safari. Located deep within the Lower Zambezi National Park, this intimate bush camp offers a safari experience unlike any other—simple, immersive, and focused entirely on the thrill of the wild.

Here, game viewing is uninterrupted, and every activity is crafted to connect you with nature—whether it’s a guided walking safari through remote wilderness, a canoe ride past hippos and crocodiles, or a 4x4 game drive in search of elusive predators. Tiger fishing, sunset river cruises, and award-winning birding add to the diverse adventures waiting at Old Mondoro.

The camp remains off-the-grid and carbon-neutral, staying true to its conservation-first philosophy while still offering personalized service, exceptional guiding, and rustic luxury. With just five chalets, each offering unparalleled views of the river or lagoon, Old Mondoro is a true wilderness escape—an experience that strips away distractions and lets you rediscover the heart of Africa.
