Chikwenya

An upscale camp with picturesque views of the confluence of the Sapi and Zambezi

Chikwenya

Nestled on the eastern boundary of Mana Pools National Park, Chikwenya Camp provides families with a front-row seat to Zimbabwe’s iconic wildlife.

Set in a breathtaking location at the confluence of the Zambezi and Sapi Rivers, Chikwenya is a photographer’s paradise. The camp overlooks vast floodplains teeming with elephants, buffalo, and an array of birdlife, all framed by the majestic Rift Valley mountains in the distance. With only seven luxurious tents, including two family suites with private plunge pools, the camp offers an exclusive, personalised experience in a truly wild environment.

Families can immerse themselves in thrilling game drives and seasonal canoeing safaris along the Zambezi River, where they can observe hippos, crocodiles, and Mana Pool’s famous tip-toeing elephants reaching up to nibble on the albida trees. With more than 70% of Mana Pools National Park accessible on foot, guided walking safaris provide an unparalleled opportunity to encounter four of the Big Five up close, with nothing standing between you and the wildlife.

Chikwenya’s commitment to preserving this UNESCO World Heritage Site ensures that the camp has been sympathetically designed and families experience a stay with a true sense of wilderness on their luxury Zimbabwe safari
