From the moment you touch down, the safari begins. The drive from the Jeki airstrip into camp at Old Mondoro is a game drive in its own right, with wildlife around each bend.

It is with excitement and emotion that we announce the sale of Chiawa Camp and Old Mondoro to the Singh family, owners of the renowned, family-owned and operated SUJÁN safari company.

Nothing changes, it is safari and business as usual.

This is not the end of a 40 year era but an exciting new beginning for the two families, the camps and their incredible people.

Upon reflection, what a privilege and journey this has been so far, with so many landmarks along the way. Establishing the first safari camp (Chiawa) in the Lower Zambezi National Park and creating ways to combine safaris on the river and in the bush, whilst exploring and opening game viewing loops and clearing out poachers. Bringing the first formal jobs and an economy to what were then some of Zambia’s most impoverished people.

Being founder members of Conservation Lower Zambezi (a successful model that many organizations are now replicating around the region), reintroducing Cheetahs, and establishing Africa’s first climate positive certified safari camps, a place where wildlife now thrives instead of being poached. Learning along the way, and creating an unchallenged ethos of personalised safari service, conservation and fine guiding.

Training our team from the ground up, collecting numerous Best Of awards along the way and putting the Lower Zambezi National Park on the safari tourism map as an absolute must-see destination. But, most of all, building and enjoying a large following of loyal guests who visit us time and again, sometimes multiples visits in a year, some guests with over 30 visits to their names - where our guests have become friends and family.

A proud legacy indeed, blessed are we.

We would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, every single wild creature, team member, guest and supplier who helped us write the pages of Chiawa’s and the Lower Zambezi National Park’s first chapters, and whose support the Singh and Cumings families will require to write the next pages.

Yours,

Grant, Lynsey, Scott, Lauren and David Cumings

Get out onto the water and test your casting skills at Chiawa Camp.

Tiger fishing is a seasonal specialty of the Zambezi River with conservation at its core. All fishing is 100% catch and release for species, no netting or killing allowed. To take it further, only artificial lures can be used, no ultralight tackle and only a one single de-barbed hook per line. All of these measures ensure this stretch of river protected and offers some of the most productive sport angling opportunities available.

But don’t be fooled, the tiger fish is a strong adversary.

Ready to fish?

The day is done, time to settle in around the crackling fire at Puku Ridge and begin to hear the night unfold around you.
