Chikwenya Camp | Zimbabwe Safaris with Africa Odyssey

Our View

Chikwenya has proved itself to be a really exciting addition to Mana Pools. Set on the eastern Mana Pools border, sandwiched between the National Park and the newly restored Sapi reserve, it is a world away and very much off the beaten track. Remaining wholly luxurious, Chikwenya is an excellent pick for the seasoned safari goer and truly a phographer's paradise.

Chikwenya - The Details

Sleek in style and with all the luxuries in the wild you could want, Chikwenya is for those who are lovers of a luxury experience on safari.

All of the rooms sit on wooden decks and the walkways connect them to the raised main area which is comprised of a lounge, dining area, a bar and a pool to relax and cool off in after a long day of safari.

The rooms themselves are spacious and open plan, with a glass wall front in order to make the most of the surrounding nature and give you the full Mana Pools safari experience. It is tastefully designed with calming wooden decoration and a simple approach to luxury – everything you could wish for from a world class safari experience.

Activities to be enjoyed from Chikwenya all take place in their private concession, and include the classic safari game drive where you can spot wild dogs, leopard, elephant, lion, buffalo, cheetah and more. As well as a walking safari, where you get the chance to see the bush from a completely different perspective. Boating safaris and canoeing where you can enjoy the tranqulity of the Zambezi, as well as marvel at the sunset. It is perfect for safari enthusiasts and honeymooners alike.

It must be said however, the game viewing here does not tend to be as prevelant as its sister camp, Ruckomechi, which is located at the opposite end of Mana Pools' river frontage on the Eastern side of the park. Chikwenya is definitely a slower paced safari camp which is why it makes for such a great combination with Ruckomechi. A boat transfer between the two is just another way to enjoy some more time on the river!
