Discover Chikwenya

Chikwenya is an ultra-luxe safari camp set on the eastern boundary of the Mana Pools National Park. Chikwenya truly makes the most of its location, surrounded by lush forest with the mighty Zambezi to one side and the Rift Valley mountains to the other. A breath-taking combination of land and water.

Chikwenya has 7 tents, including 2 family units. Pine walkways link the camp together, extending from the private tents to the main lounge, dining area, bar and pool area. Spend warm afternoons cooling off in the pool or sit back and enjoy the resident wildlife under the Zimbabwean sun. Spend your evenings reminiscing about the days activities by a bonfire or lounge on your private decks enjoying the breeze off the Zambezi and the panoramic views.
