GUEST COMMENTS

The difference between Chiawa and the rest? All camps “promise” the perfect safari experience – Chiawa delivers
– Phil and Carol Avery

If I had but one last day to live I would happily spend it in this special place of running river, starry skies, majestic beasts and lovely people – black & white
– Leila USA

The sun rises and sets over the Zambezi – the hippo laugh, the leopard coughs, the stars shimmer in black velvet; the dream that is Africa is Chiawa. Pinch me!
– Sherry USA

I thought nothing could top our previous experiences in fine camps and lodges but Chiawa is simply the best. The beautiful Zambezi, the camp – the food!! But of course Chiawa is really the people – the smiles and gracious welcome
– Anne USA

If paradise really does exist I’d like it like Chiawa

Chiawa Camp gets top rating in Michelin Guide to Africa. Not just well worth visiting, not just well worth making a detour for, but worth a special voyage all the way to the Zambezi

Absolutely mind blowing
– Giles Foden, Author, UK

What an amazing place, better than we possibly could have imagined. We got everything we wished for and more. The setting was spectacular and the wildlife – incredible. We completed our mission of seeing the Lions thanks to the amazing Wallace! Everybody here was brilliant and made us feel at home in this amazing place. Hope to see you again.

We love our new “family” at Chiawa camp! You have thought of absolutely everything to make our stay special, relaxing, fun-filled, exciting. Don’t change a thing. We feel very blessed to have visited. <3

Thank you all for a wonderful experience. A fabulous camp with great staff. You have made for a special safari experience. Take all the positive comments in this book and double or triple them and that is how we feel. We look forward to next time!

What a remarkable place! The scenery is stunning and so varied. The game viewing was magnificent, to see four of the “Big 5” within two hours of reaching camp is some record and then to see two Leopards and Lion cubs – fantastic! Add to that great food and tremendous service all delivered with passion and a smile and you have a winning combination. We loved every minute of our time here. Thank you
