Accommodation Chiawa Lower Zambezi Zambia

Chiawa Camp is situated in the Lower Zambezi National Park, on the banks of the river. The Zambezi is 2,700 km long and meanders through the park, attracting much wildlife to its islands.

This is a private tented camp owned and run by Grant Cumings, whose family founded the camp in 1989. Chiawa is tastefully designed to fit in with its magnificent setting amongst a grove of mahogany and acacia trees. All of the eight tents have en-suite facilities, insect screens and solar powered lighting. The camp has a thatched lounge with an upstairs observation deck, and the bar and dining areas look over the Zambezi River and the animals that regularly drink around the lodge.

While staying at Chiawa guests can explore the beautiful Lower Zambezi National Park either on foot with an armed guide or can enjoy excellent game viewing on both day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles. Canoeing along the Zambezi River is also a great way to view the birds and mammals along the riverbank, or for those who want the more relaxed option sundowner cruises can be organised. Expert guides can assist those who wish to fish for the world's most aggressive fresh-water fish - the tiger fish - and a strict catch and release policy is observed.
