In a spectacular position at the confluence of the Chiawa and Zambezi Rivers, this luxurious lodge inside the park was the first in the Lower Zambezi. As a pioneer in this area, the owner Grant Cummings knows the park intimately and his guiding expertise is highly regarded. The large walk-in canvas-thatch tents feature pine-clad private bathrooms.
The bar-lounge has an upstairs deck with majestic views over the river and there’s a viewing platform high up in the trees.
The food is top notch and for the romantics among you (and honeymooners), candlelit private tables can be set up in the bush, on a boat or, at full moon, on a sand bar in the middle of the river.
Chiawa's sister camp, Old Mindoro, is a classic old-school safari bush camp unlike anything else in the park and receives rave reviews.
