Chiawa, possibly Zambia’s most exceptional game viewing lodge and proudly ranked among the top 10 in all of Africa. The lodge represents a fantastic fusion of plentiful game, expert guides, superior accommodation and attentive service.

The wildlife is abundant and whilst lion and leopard sightings are a primary focus, elephants are everywhere, impala and other deer are nervous but abundant and baboons and monkeys check you out from their land or tree top vantage points.

Boat safaris will have you mixing with hippos, huge crocodiles, water buffalo and a range of animals looking to quest their thirst from the rivers edge. Jump in a Canadian Canoe with your own guide and experience everything at a much more tactile level.

There is also the chance for anyone who might be a keen angler to experience the adrenalin rush of catching a tigerfish, the ultimate sportfish in all of Africa.

Every claim of excellence and distinction that Chiawa has been awarded is resoundingly deserved. The camp not only lives up to its illustrious reputation but consistently maintains exceptionally high standards in all facets of its operation.

It offers exceptional guiding services and wildlife encounters, cultivating a friendly and unassuming atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home. Personalised and efficient service is the norm and whilst the accommodation is luxurious you can add that culinary experiences are excellent and a great time to mix with other guests from around the globe.

The camps vehicles and boats are excellent ensuring your exploration of this pristine wilderness is as comfortable as it is thrilling. A robust network of reliable communications and logistics ensures a hassle-free journey.

This experience is all backed by the unwavering support of the camp owners, Jenny and Dave Cumings, the architects of this world class destination who are based in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital.
