Reasons To
Visit Zambia

  • Big cats & safari wildlife

    Zambia is a safari destination for the connoisseur, boasting a fantastic range of wildlife in its diverse national parks. Many amazing game experiences can be had within the national parks, with lion virtually guaranteed and leopard in abundance. This superb array of game can be appreciated on foot, by car or on the water.

  • Birds

    Zambia offers the full range of fascinating, colourful birdlife you’d expect to see on safari, with a range of water based birds in the Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Parks. The Bangweulu Wetlands are one of the few places on the planet where you can see the impressive Shoebill Stork.

  • Boat trips

    An evening cruise on the Zambezi in Livingstone and game viewing from Kafue’s Lufupa River are wonderfully relaxing, but best of all are the water based activities in the Lower Zambezi. Drifting slowly down river, observing elephants coming into drink as the sun goes down is one of the definitive African experiences.

    Boat trips

  • Night drives

    With night drives offered in all of the major national parks, Zambia is arguably the best destination in Africa to observe nocturnal wildlife. The South Luangwa in particular is known for outstanding leopard sightings, and there is a tangible excitement to watching how wildlife behaves after dark.

  • Victoria Falls

    By any judgement Victoria Falls is an awesome force of nature. During the wet season up to 550 million litres of water cascades over the lip of the Falls each minute, offering an intensely photogenic experience. The spectacle that so bewitched David Livingstone is still equally impressive today.

  • Walking safari

    With superb guides and remote wilderness, the country that invented the walking safari is still the premier walking destination on the continent. There is nothing quite like approaching elephants or buffalo on foot knowing full well that you are a mere guest in their territory.

Chiawa Camp

The Lower Zambezi National Park

Run by the Cumings family, Chiawa Camp is friendly, relaxed and has a superb situation in the heart of the park, overlooking the river.

Sitting in camp there is always something to see, from hippo grunting in the water to elephant drinking or buffalo grazing on the grassy islands.

Chiawa has nine large tents on raised wooden decks overlooking the water. Inside they are fabulous, double or twin beds with fresh linens standing on polished wooden floors, beautiful carved furniture and animal check lists. Outside on the spacious veranda there are comfortable chairs, perfect for relaxing during the hot afternoons with a cold drink, a book and your binoculars.

Each tent has en suite open air bathroom with polished brass taps, powerful showers and the leaves of the mahogany trees shading them fluttering down. In the centre of camp the bar and dining area are under thatch and have deep chairs, lots of books and fine views of the river.

Food is absolutely excellent at Chiawa with chefs preparing large bush breakfasts, light lunches and dinners that are sometimes eaten on a sandbank in the middle of the river.

Activities include walks, day and night drives, canoe trips and boat trips. It's also fun to try a spot of tiger fishing under a 'catch and release' policy or just relax by the plunge pool.
