Mongwe Safari Camp

The camp of just four canvas tents, each with en sute bathrooms, is on the wild Zambezi and you can see elephants, hippos and the odd crocodile from the camp itself.

The camp is fully catered with locally sourced food, including freshly caught fish.

The camp has a small pool and offers a range of activities, including game drives, walking safaris, water safaris, hippo & crocodile watching boat trips, boat sundowners, and more.

Mongwe is a community of 21 privately-run fishing camps and public campsites, situated on the Zambezi River between Chirundu (the border post town linking Zimbabwe with Zambia) and Mana Pools National Park, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The camps lie within the Hurungwe Safari Area, Nyakasanga section.

Mongwe can be accessed by air charter (to Chirundu), by boat along the river from Chirundu, or via a 19km-long dirt road which turns east off the main Harare-Chirundu highway some 6km before Chirundu and follows the course of the Zambezi River on its Zimbabwean bank. During the dry winter season this road can be accessed by most sturdy vehicles, but a 4x4 is necessary in the rainy months (November - April).
