Classic Mana Pools and Chikwenya Safari Camp

Chikwenya Safari Camp, located in Mana Pools National Park offers an exclusive safari experience along the Zambezi River. The camp features luxurious tents with stunning river views, surrounded by rich wildlife and ancient forests. Activities include game drives, canoeing, and walking safaris, providing unforgettable encounters with the diverse wildlife of Mana Pools.
 

It’s time to splash out and try this exclusive Zimbabwe experience in the magnificence of the Mana Pools National Park World Heritage Site. Chikwenya is the name of a female ruler of the local community who was buried nearby under a huge old baobab tree. The local people love their heritage and believe in wildlife conservation as much as you and we do.

Chikwenya Camp Zimbabwe nestles in Mana Pools in its own concession and is one of the original camps offering safaris on the banks of the Zambezi River. Just 7 luxury tents (5 for coupes and 2 for families) invite families to experience the bushveld in its true wild state and couples will also enjoy the romance of tranquil nature and hands on attention by professional staff and game rangers. 

Chikwenya Camp is owned by Wilderness Safaris who have revamped the camp and enhanced the mod cons and unforgettable game viewing experience. Solar power drives the energy here and guests can get up close to birds on boating safaris and see the sun set from the middle of the Zambezi. 

Enjoy early game drives to catch the big cats out getting breakfast and see elephant herds all day wandering around camp, while hippos grunt and plenty of plains game pop in on their way past. Chikwenya Game Lodge is known as a fantastic multi activity safari camp because you can go on 4×4 vehicles to game view, on boats, on foot and into hides dotted around for secret spotting of awesome charismatic species.
