Situated on the eastern boundary of Mana Pools National Park, Chikwenya is a photographer’s paradise as it looks out over an open floodplain and the broad Zambezi River, with a backdrop provided by the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment. The camp is surrounded by a dense forest of albida and Natal mahogany trees, which provide deep shade in the heat of the day. The albidas shed their protein-rich pods during the dry season, providing vital sustenance for many species, particularly elephant. This seasonal camp offers incredible elephant sightings, great numbers of predators, as well as some of the worlds best walking safari opportunities.

Chikwenya Camp has seven spacious and luxuriously furnished tents overlooking the flood plains and the flowing waters of the mighty Zambezi River. The tents stand on low wooden decks with pine walkways linking them to the main areas which include a lounge, bar area, swimming pool and deck. With families in mind, there is also two family units available. Activities offered include day & night game drives and bush walks, boat cruises, night drives, bird watching as well as kayaking and fishing on the Zambezi for the world famous tiger fish. All activities are done with excellent experienced guides who are experts on the flora and fauna of the area. Back at the lodge, lounge by the swimming pool, try out birding on the deck or unwind as the afternoon heat dissipates with a round of sundowners.
