Old Mondoro Bush Camp, Zambia

Left

The concept of Old Mondoro is simple – to step back from the ultra-luxurious lodges seemingly springing up everywhere, and rather provide guests with an authentic remote safari that concentrates on the wildlife and bush experience. Old Mondoro, which is a joint venture between the owners of Sausage Tree Camp and Chiawa Camp, is set in a grove of Acacia trees on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Lower Zambezi National Park some 10km downstream from Jeki Airstrip, near the Chakwenga River confluence. This bushcamp is a place where the call of the hyena replaces the hum of a generator, where harsh electric light is replaced by the soft glow of a lantern, where some of the best guides in Africa will help guests experience a closer look at the natural world. The Camp is open from May 01 – October 31.

Location

Old Mondoro Bush Camp can be reached by air via a light aircraft flight from Lusaka to Jeki Airstrip takes 30 minutes.

Highlights

The camp is a beautiful site overlooking a maze of hippo-inhabited islands and channels. Here, the Park is characterised by vast flood plains and open woodland making for ideal walking and game viewing opportunities.
Old Mondoro is noted for its wild dog sightings as the dogs often den in the vicinity, and was the base for the African Wild Dog Conservation researcher for two years.
