Resting peacefully on the banks of the Zambezi River, under a grove of evergreen Mahogany trees, Chiawa Camp holds the prime position in the heart of Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park. David Livingstone ventured through here nearly 150 years previously, where the Cumings Family in 1989 created the very first photo safari operation in the Lower Zambezi National Park and what has since become one of Africa's most desirable, sought after safari destinations.
There are five classic tents, one honeymoon tent and three superior tents at Chiawa Camp, accommodating a maximum of 16 guests on an individual basis or a maximum of 18 guests if the camp is booked out in its entirety for a group. The tents all have excellent views and are accessed by paths running behind the accommodation to maximize privacy. A stunning thatched lounge/bar area with upstairs viewing deck provides one of the best views of the Zambezi. Enjoy Chiawa's renowned cuisine in the al-fresco dining veranda. After dinner, guests can retire to the campfire and enjoy a cocktail or two while taking in the sounds and magic of the African night. Guests can also take a welcome dip in the plunge pool during the heat of the day or sunbathe on the sundeck, overlooking the Zambezi River.
Activities include game drives, night drives, canoeing on the Zambezi, boat cruises, sundowner trips and fishing. The nature walks in this area are exceptional.
Airstrip Transfer Time: 15 minutes by road followed by a 20 minute boat ride. The camp allows an hour as also include a 10 minute changeover, moving guests and luggage between boat and vehicle.

These are the epitome of elegance and luxury on safari; every comfort and convenience you might wish for. Intuitive ergonomics (everything is where it should be), sumptuous beds and linens, a lounge area, overhead fans, multi-national charging points, excellent storage, an ensuite bathroom with ball & claw bath, his & hers washbasins, enclosed loo, shower and then a timber veranda with hammock, bench-wallow plunge pool, outdoor waterfall shower, leather arm chairs and a dining area. Did we mention the views?
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.
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.
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.
