Chiawa Safaris - Chiawa Camp

Lower Zambezi, Zambia

About Chiawa Safaris - Chiawa Camp

One of Africa's premier and most renowned safari camps, completely solar. On the banks of the Zambezi River, under a massive grove of Mahogany trees the multi-award winning "Best in Africa" Chiawa Camp holds the prime position in the heart of Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park. A stunning thatched lounge/bar area with an upstairs viewing deck provides one of the best views of the Zambezi.

Indulge in attentive yet unpretentious, personalised service, fabulous cuisine and fantastic "tents" with spectacular views of the Zambezi and its resident wildlife. This family owned and operated camp, the pioneer of tourism in the Lower Zambezi NP, offers unusually varied activities with a choice of game drives, walking, boating and angling in the care of Africa's finest guides.

There is also plenty to do and wildlife to see if you just wish to relax in camp with an in-room massage, a viewing hide, a beautiful pool and sundeck overlooking the Zambezi and for the more energetic, a well equipped functional fitness shack.

Chiawa Camp SAFARI SUITE Family Set Up
The Safari Suite at Chiawa Camp is NOT a two-bedroom house but it can serve as a stunning retreat for young families where we put two day beds in the lounge. At night these are set up for sleeping.
Chiawa Camp SAFARI SUITE
The Safari Suite at Chiawa Camp is probably Zambia's finest safari tent. Perched on a ridge "about 5 elephants high" overlooking the Zambezi River, its floodplains and the towering escarpment, this retreat knows no equal. An air-conditioned bedroom, an interleading bathroom and a lounge (that can be converted into a bedroom for young children, a private pool, private camp fire and dining, private vehicle access and more.
Chiawa Camp STARBED
The only sleep out tower in the Lower Zambezi National Park and probably one of Africa's finest. When paired with our floating dinner on the Zambezi River, what we call the Star Drift Experience is certainly the world's most unique and romantic sleep out.
