Chiawa Camp sits on the banks of the Zambezi River within Lower Zambezi National Park, a family-owned property that has collected numerous international awards and is frequently cited among the very best safari camps on the continent.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Spacious tented suites set directly on the riverbank, each with an outdoor shower and private deck facing the Zambezi and the mountains of Zimbabwe beyond.
Food & Service
A highly regarded dining programme served riverside, consistently cited in the camp’s long list of hospitality awards.
Activities
Canoeing on the Zambezi, walking safaris, traditional game drives, and tiger fishing, the widest activity range found in the Lower Zambezi.
Wildlife & Photography
The Lower Zambezi’s riverine forest and floodplain support significant elephant and buffalo populations, with lion and leopard commonly seen along the river’s edge.
A Photographer's Note
Canoe safaris here put photographers at water level with elephant swimming between islands, a genuinely different vantage from any vehicle-based safari.
Conservation & Impact
Chiawa’s owning family has long supported Lower Zambezi’s anti-poaching and river-based conservation efforts, helping establish the park’s reputation as a conservation success story.
