ACCOMMODATION

Tucked deep within Lower Zambezi National Park, Old Mondoro offers a rare and authentic safari experience, where nature takes center stage. Set along the banks of the Zambezi River and a tranquil water channel, this exclusive camp is a sanctuary of understated elegance and immersive wilderness encounters. With only five chalets, Old Mondoro ensures an intimate and personalized escape into one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions.

The camp features four luxury chalets and one two-bedroom family chalet, all crafted from natural materials to blend seamlessly into the landscape. Each chalet is open-fronted, offering uninterrupted views of the river or channel, where elephants, hippos, and big cats roam freely. Guests can enjoy a king-size bed draped in romantic netting, a bathtub that doubles as a plunge pool, and an outdoor shower under the stars. A private deck provides the perfect vantage point for wildlife watching, as elephants frequently wander through camp, creating an exhilarating connection to the wild.

Dining at Old Mondoro is a culinary celebration of African flavors, with gourmet meals served under the shade of ancient trees or beneath a starlit sky. From breakfast as the sun rises over the Zambezi to sundowners by the fire, every moment is curated to enhance the safari experience.

Days are filled with expert-led game drives, walking safaris, canoe excursions, boat cruises, and catch-and-release tiger fishing. The lodge’s location offers unparalleled leopard sightings, alongside lions, wild dogs, and vast herds of buffalo. For those seeking serenity, nothing compares to drifting silently along the river in a canoe, witnessing the magic of the Lower Zambezi from the water’s edge.
