Resting peacefully on the banks of the Zambezi River in a grove of mahogany and acacia trees, Chiawa Camp has one of the most beautiful river locations in Zambia – an area where elephants and buffalo wander freely.
The camp can accommodate 16 guests in eight well-appointed safari tents, each on a raised timber deck with a private veranda. All tents are under thatch and have en-suite facilities with hot and cold running water, twin or double beds, insect screens and solar-powered lighting.
The main camp areas include a large open bar and lounge that overlooks the Zambezi River, an elevated observation deck, a separate dining area, an outdoor boma for starlit evenings and a swimming pool with sun loungers.
Chiawa Camp offers day and night game drives, walking safaris and canoeing, river safaris, fishing and Zambezi River sunset cruises.
One of the few remaining family-run camps in Zambia, Chiawa retains its character thanks to this personal touch. Both the camp and its guides have won multiple awards, but it is the catamaran lunch cruise along the Zambezi that really stands out for us.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Set in the untouched wilds of the Lower Zambezi National Park, Lolebezi is arguably one of the most stylish and individual camps here.
Tucked into a quiet and unique region of the Lower Zambezi National Park, this stylish camp has wonderful views and its choice of activities make this a really lovely option. Anabezi comprises 11 large tents overlooking the Zambezi and Mushika River floodplain, each with sliding glass doors opening onto a private deck complete with splash pool, yet still in touch with its natural surroundings.
Chongwe River Camp is situated at the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers, directly opposite Mana Pools. This is a true ‘bush camp’ in a wilderness area; elephant are more numerous than people in the Albida Grove – there are no fences and the animals have right of way. The en suite chalets are large, well-appointed Mulati tents under thatch, with a luxury open-air bathrooms. Nestled under a canopy of Albida thorns and surrounded by cool lawns, they command fabulous views. Each tent sleeps two people – twin or double beds can be arranged.
