Intimate and remote family-owned camp

Sitting on the banks of the Zambezi River, an area that abounds with savannah wildlife, Chiawa camp is family owned and friendly safari camp experience in the idyllic surroundings of the Lower Zambezi.

The multi-award winning camp began as the first photo safari in operation in the park, today its reputation as a superior lodge for families and honeymoons is known afar. From the open-sided communal lounge to the tents’ private decks with outdoor showers, every feature of the camp connects guests to its stunning surroundings.

The plunge pool, luxury suites and wooden raised decks all boast remarkable views over the Zambezi River where the resident wildlife, from elephants to lions, gathers.

Accommodating a maximum of 18 guests, the camp has evolved over time and after a recent renovation offers an even higher degree of comfort and luxury.

Creative, seasonal menus are a highlight of any stay and meals are served in the alfresco dining area.
