Pioneering Elegance in Zambia's Untamed Heart
Established in 1989 as the first safari camp within Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park, Chiawa Camp epitomizes the seamless fusion of refined luxury and pristine wilderness. Nestled beneath a canopy of mahogany trees along the Zambezi River, this family-owned retreat offers an intimate and immersive safari experience where nature and sophistication coexist in perfect harmony.

The camp features nine lavish safari tents, each strategically positioned to maximize privacy and uninterrupted river views. Elegantly furnished with classic safari charm, they include en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, and private verandas for unparalleled relaxation. For those seeking the ultimate exclusivity, the Chiawa Safari Suite offers an elevated experience with its own plunge pool, dedicated guide, and a private dining deck—ideal for those desiring seclusion without compromising on luxury. The central thatched lounge, bar, and elevated viewing deck provide a refined yet welcoming space to unwind while observing the ever-present wildlife.

Gastronomy at Chiawa Camp is an art form, with seasonal menus crafted to celebrate the flavors of Zambia, served in breathtaking settings—from candlelit bush dinners to riverside brunches. Every meal is paired with a curated selection of wines, ensuring an exceptional dining experience.

A rich array of activities awaits, from expertly guided game drives and walking safaris to canoeing, boating, and world-class tiger fishing. The camp's highly skilled guides offer unparalleled insight into the park’s diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and hippos.
