Owned and operated by the Cumings family of Chiawa Camp, Old Mondoro is set in a grove of Acacia trees that tower above the massive elephant bulls that seem to be constantly feeding on them. On the banks of the Zambezi River in the Lower Zambezi National Park some 35km downstream from Chiawa Camp this is a beautiful and remote site overlooking a maze of hippo-inhabited islands and channels. With only 8 beds Old Mondoro is the Lower Zambezi’s most intimate and private safari camp.

Appropriately constructed of canvas and natural materials, Old Mondoro has an open and adventurous feel yet provides a perfect retreat after a day filled with excitement in the bush.

• A King size bed (or two singles) draped in mosquito nets and Egyptian cotton linens,

• 24 hour lighting supplied by an ingenious “green” 24 volt electricity system,

• 24/7 hot and cold water supply the en suite facilities which include indoor flush loo

• and wash basin and outdoor shower & huge “splash-tub” all overlooking the Zambezi.

Each room also has a shaded timber sun deck complete with comfy daybed for relaxation with the very best of views

The Park offers excellent game viewing throughout, with there being more elephant, lion and buffalo activity closer to Chiawa Camp, and Old Mondoro’s area to the east which seems to deliver more frequent leopard and serval sightings, and more plains game such as Zebra and Kudu. 

Also on offer at Old Mondoro are - game drives (day & night),- canoeing, - game viewing by motor boat - catch & release fishing for tigerfish with all tackle       (conventional and fly) available.

The terrain around Old Mondoro is very different from the rest of the Park, which is on higher ground characterised by thicker bush and large inland lagoons. Here, the Park is characterised by vast flood plains and open woodland making for ideal walking and game viewing opportunities. There are some excellent walking areas right out of Camp, and more just a short drive away. It is unquestionably the best walking area in the Lower Zambezi.

From USD 500 per person per night sharing (fully inclusive)
