Overview

Chiawa Camp is situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park. The tented camp is under the trees of a forest of mahogany and enjoys amazing views over the Zambezi River Valley. You can set out on day and night game drives or guided walks to see lions, leopards, and buffaloes, and to outlook elephants and hippos, board on river cruises. Anglers have chance to practice the joy of catching well-known tiger fish. On the other hand, you can also relax on the deck of your tent or in the camp’s observation deck to scrutinize the wildlife. Chiawa has an incredible location, where you can enjoy kayaking along the Zambezi’s easy-going canals. Your guide will paddle you along as you take pleasure in watching elephants, water monitors, energetic monkeys and a never-ending parade of birds go about life on the riverbank. Chiawa also has an extensive swimming pool and an open-air gym with river views, where you can spin off the delicious meals and treats!
