Both Chiawa Camp and Old Mondoro are located in the middle of the prime wildlife and habitat zones of the Lower Zambezi National Park, so we usually do not have to travel far to see wildlife (which often visits us in camp!) and we are usually headed back to camp by the time any other vehicles start finding out what’s going on.

Old Mondoro is a beautiful, small camp in a wonderful location that complements any visit to Zambia. Takes a step back from the complexity and sophistication of many safari camps and focuses instead on providing guests with a more down-to-earth though no less comfortable or rewarding safari experience. Situated far inside the Park in a lovely walking country (miles of open woodland) with great game viewing, Old Mondoro is a great spot, especially for elephants, leopards, and seasonal wild dog sightings.
5 screened-in reed chalets with canvas roofs, left open during the day, and canvas blinds with window screens that are lowered for privacy and security at night. King-size beds and mosquito nets face out onto the Zambezi River. All chalets have 220v lighting powerpoint. There is a large outdoor stone splash tub and shower, open to the stars overlooking the Zambezi River with hot water 24/7 as well as indoor flushing loos & twin sinks. A huge private deck enables expansive views and there is a comfortable relaxing area with day beds under the shade to watch the elephants pass only meters from the chalets.
There is also a 6th chalet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms ideal for families.
A traditional bush kitchen supplies outstanding meals and fresh bread baked daily from a homemade oven. The entire experience is unpretentious and uncomplicated but promises a unique safari that gives guests the best bush experience possible.
Activities at Old Mondoro Camp include walking safaris, game drives, boat safaris, canoeing, and fishing - mostly tiger fishing (all on a catch-and-release basis).
