WELCOME TO

Chiawa Camp

LOWER ZAMBEZI

Overview

Chiawa Camp, is an award-winning safari camp. In addition to all the amazing safari experiences led by one of Africa’s best guiding teams, the cuisine, the personalised service, and a vast array of activities are what also sets it apart.

Rooms

Chiawa Camp’s nine tented chalets are set on elevated shaded decks, affording panoramic views. Each tent is en-suite with twin washbasins, indoor and outdoor showers, and a claw bath.

In front of each there is a ‘bench wallow’– in cooler weather this is a sunken lounge area or in hot weather, a plunge pool is created. There is power for charging appliances and cameras, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The luxurious Safari Suite is much sought after by honeymooners and families alike and features an outdoor lounge with a private fireplace and a 16 m plunge pool. The day beds can be converted to beds for children.

Facilities

The thatched lounge/bar area has an upstairs viewing deck with some of the best views of the Zambezi, a wonderful spot for sundowners. Meals are enjoyed al fresco on the veranda in front of which there is a campfire. Cool down in the pool or burn off some calories in the small gym.

Camp activities include game drives by day and night, river safaris, canoeing, walking and catch and release fishing.

In addition, a riverfront photographic hide is perfectly positioned for wildlife viewing and taking close-up photos.

Just downstream from the camp is the Star Bed Tower, a romantic safari sleepout platform with a bed and bath overlooking the river.

The camp is closed mid November to April.

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

" We had a wonderful time! We loved the journey and whole experience on Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Vic Falls. We especially enjoyed Victoria Falls and the wildlife in the grounds of the hotel! We liked Mauritius alot. "

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"

"South Africa was absolutely fabulous. Too many highlights to mention. The “stand out” for us was definitely the Rovos Train. The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was exciting & the Safari at Shamwari was superb! Driving the Garden route (& sometimes off the beaten track !) was stunning. Great memories of such a lovely country."
