Stay at Chiawa Camp

Chiawa Camp lies in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park, seconds away from the banks of the Zambezi River. For that reason, it has one of the highest standards of wildlife in Zambia, with elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and numerous other species right on your doorstep.

Enjoy sundowners on the Zambezi River, or star gazing in the

‘splash tubs’, before returning back to your luxurious “tent”, after an exciting day witnessing the awe-inspiring Big Five. Chiawa Camp is the perfect retreat to see, smell and feel the best of Africa.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
