Why we love it
Old Mondoro, set in the banks of the Zambezi Rivers, is characterised by vast flood plains and open woodland, creating outstanding game viewing opportunities. Known for its simple luxury, superb home-cooked meals served in the open-sided thatched dining room, and excellent guiding levels, Old Mondoro is a unique ‘back to the bush’ experience.
Wildlife activity can be observed from the comfort of the lodge, primarily with elephant and hippo viewings, or guests can bring their senses alive with the lodge’s walking safaris, and get to know the ‘real’ Africa.
Paddle through incredible scenery and meet the residing inhabitants in six metre long canoes, before heading downstream to 'sunset strip' for some refreshing sundowners.
Old Mondoro is located in the open area of the Faidherbia Forest, which you can explore on the early morning or late afternoon game drives.
Spot civet, porcupine and genet, as well as larger hunters prowling in the night on a drive using a filtered spotlight.
Be guided through the wilderness on foot, interpreting spoor, identifying flora and fauna and learning about conservation issues.
Enjoy morning or afternoon cruises exploring numerous channels off the Zambezi river to view hippo, buffalo, elephant and prolific birdlife.
Catch and release some big fish, including the notorious tigerfish from September to November, from the privileged position of the camp off the Zambezi River.
Enjoy carefully crafted cuisine whilst out exploring in the African bush, or tuck into a braais under the stars on the bank of the Zambezi.

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.
