Accommodation Photos

Stay at Chikwenya Camp

Chikwenya Camp is situated on the eastern boundary of Mana Pools National Park. The Camp looks over the floodplain and borders the Zambizi River making this a photographer’s paradise with an idyllic backdrop of Rift Valley mountainous escarpment.

Surrounding the camp is a dense forest of Albida and Natal mahogany trees which provide a deep shade during the peak of the African heat, the Albida trees shed their protein-rich pods

during the dry season which attract a variety of species providing them with sustenance.

The seven tents that make up the Chikwenya Camp are situated on low wooden decks with wooden walkways linking them to the camps main areas. Each section of the decking is positioned to optimize the camps prime location and give guests the ideal position to enjoy the passing wildlife.

Jen & George

We were bundled into a vehicle and dashed off to see a leopard within the first 30 minutes of arriving; it was an AWESOME start. Our guide completely made the entire experience. He was an exceptional birder and his best party trick was to point out the bird and then tell us the exact page we could find it in our book. We combined Zimbabwe with Mozambique, and our beach hotel felt like a complete hidden gem. The sand is like ‘moon dust’ and the hospitality and food were fantastic.
