Old Mondoro is the sister bushcamp of renowned Chaiwa Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park. Set in a grove of acacia trees on the banks of the Zambezi River, Old Mondoro is some 10 kilometres downstream from Jeki Airstrip, near the Chakwenga River confluence. It is a beautiful site overlooking a maze of hippo-inhabited islands and channels. Here, the park is characterised by vast flood plains and open woodland making for ideal walking and game viewing opportunities. This is very different from the rest of the park, which is on higher ground and characterised by thicker bush and large inland lagoons.
River Safaris conducted on custom built, stable pontoon boats with a canopy.
Catch and release tiger fishing is one of the seasonal specialities of the Zambezi River.

Star gazing in the 'splash tubs' or from the lounge after a full day safaring in the Lower Zambezi; sundowners on the Zambezi River or canoeing down the ‘waterbuck island’ channel are signature experiences at Chaiwa Camp.
