overview

Set on the banks of the great Zambezi River under acacia trees that often attract elephants, Old Mondoro looks out over a maze of hippo-filled channels and small islands in the Lower Zambezi National Park. The camp is simple in style but with all the comforts you'll need: the philosophy behind Old Mondoro is simply to take a step back from the ultra-luxurious lodges that have sprung up in recent times and instead provide you with an authentic safari experience. An emphasis is placed on guided walking safaris, and in this remote area where there are few other camps this is an ideal activity.

You can also set out in 4X4 vehicles each morning and afternoon for guided game drives, or view hippos, elephants and other wildlife along the Zambezi from motorboats or Canadian-style canoes. There's plenty of opportunities for tiger fishing too, and Old Mondoro sits in one of Southern Africa's top birding regions.

Dining

The traditional bush kitchen at Old Mondoro creates outstanding meals and fresh bread baked daily from a homemade oven. An early breakfast is enjoyed around the campfire while lunch and afternoon tea are served in the main dining and lounge area.

The evening's hearty three-course dinner is shared around the camp’s dining table.

Bush Chalet

With outstanding views of the Zambezi River, the tents at Old Mondoro rest on raised platforms and have en suite facilities with flush toilets, washbasins and an outdoor shower plus a 'splash tub' open to the sky.

The tents have open views during the day while canvas drop-down blinds with windows are lowered at night to provide more privacy. Spend time on your private veranda, reclining on your day bed as assorted animals stroll past.

All the tents are comfortably furnished and have king-size or twin beds with Egyptian cotton linen and are draped with large mosquito nets. In keeping with the old world atmosphere, paraffin lanterns are used to provide ambient lighting although electric reading lights and battery-charging facilities are available in each room for your convenience.
