Safari Activities in the Lower Zambezi with Chiawa Camp

Описание: A quick peak into the safari Activities and experiences on offer during your stay at Chiawa Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park

Due to its proximity to the Zambezi River, the Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Africa’s most scenic wildernesses, allowing travelers a front row seat to Africa’s best safari activities.

The Lower Zambezi is home to an impressive quantity and variety of wildlife, for safari experiences viewed not only on the more usual land-based Lower Zambezi activities, but also on a variety of water-based activities, and in the camps themselves.

In comparison to typical African safaris, the Lower Zambezi safari experiences are unique: more remote, more exclusive, and experiential in nature.

Chiawa Camp is located in the middle of prime wildlife and habitat zones of the Lower Zambezi National Park, so we usually do not have to travel far to see wildlife! Even better, wildlife such as Elephant, Warthog, and Buffalo make their way into camp to visit us, providing out-of-this-world game sightings.

What can you do on safari in Zambia at Chiawa Camp?

Safari Activity #1
Game Drives
A most popular Zambia safari activity, the game drive is conducted in an open 4×4 safari vehicle. Cover more ground and get extra close to wildlife without placing yourself in harms way nor disturbing the wildlife. Game drives go out in the morning just after breakfast (don't worry, you'll enjoy another coffee along the way at a scenic stop off) and also in the afternoon, returning in time for dinner. Chiawa Safaris is renowned for their red light spotting game drives in the evening.

Safari Activity #2
Walking Safaris
The walking safari is the purest safari experience, and often the most thrilling, not knowing what you will encounter around each corner. Our guides are trained naturalists, and you'll venture out with both a pro-guide (our guides are award-winning if you must know) along with a Zambia parks armed escort for safety. Ready to get your heart pumping on a walking safari?

Safari Activity #3
Zambezi Canoe Safari
If you thought a walking safari got your adrenaline going, try out the water-based version of full-on immersion into animal habitat. You're on their turf now... Trade land for the mighty river with a canoe trip safari experience. Whether you canoe along the spiraling and picturesque channels above camp or canoe amongst the islands down the main river close to shore, you'll see some incredible wildlife. Drifting in near silence past birds, crocs and hippos, plus a variety of mammals on the upper islands makes for a day to remember, however this is the Zambezi River at its most natural and unfortunately, also at its most dangerous. Are you game to try?

Safari Activity #4
Zambia River Safari
A favorite water-based safari activity, without the inherent danger of a canoe trip. Zambezi River Safaris, or Boat Cruises, are conducted on custom built, stable pontoon boats with a canopy.

Guided by one of our expert river guides who will have grown up on the Zambezi, you'll explore the main bank, islands and channels coming across fish eagles, herons, perhaps a buffalo lurking in the reeds, crocs and hippos sunning themselves, and elephants crossing the river or grabbing a bite on one of the many islands dotting the mighty river.

As the sun sets, your guide will pour your cocktails of choice and serve you snacks before gently motoring back to camp or dropping you off at a waiting 4×4 to take you on a night drive.

BONUS - Safari Activity #5
Zambezi Tiger Fishing
Fishing for tiger fish is a seasonal specialty of the Zambezi River and one of the best safari activities. The best time to catch them is from late August to mid November during the hotter months, but you'll find tiger fish and other species throughout our Zambian safari season. Netting and killing of any fish is not permitted - we apply a 100% catch & release for all species.
