Chicari Camp

Launching May 2025

Chicari Camp, formerly Gorongosa Wild Camp, is a stunning seasonal camp, offering a unique way to experience the untamed beauty of Gorongosa National Park. Named after the pan it encircles – a large natural waterhole that serves as a sanctuary for wildlife and a captivating centrepiece of the landscape – Chicari is a truly wild safari experience.

Our guests are invited to reconnect with nature, embrace the rhythms of the wild, and create lasting memories in one of Africa’s most unspoiled environments.

Our Canvas Tents

Chicari Camp offers ten thoughtfully designed canvas tents, including eight safari tents and two unique treehide tents. The tents provide spacious interiors with cosy beds, solar-powered lighting, and private en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. The two tree hide tents are at the base of a wooden tree hide and share a spacious deck, making them an ideal choice for two couples or a family travelling together. All tents offer wonderful views of the pan, and are connected by raised wooden walkways, creating a seamless flow through the camp while ensuring privacy and a close connection to nature.

Rates From US$ 715 per person sharing per night.

FACILITIES

At the heart of Chicari Camp is the large shaded dining and lounge area, where guests can savour delicious meals or relax with a book – all while observing the constant flow of wildlife attracted to the pan. Then gather around the central campfire, under a canopy of seemingly endless stars, to share stories of the day’s adventures and soak in the sounds of the night. Designed with sustainability in mind, the camp operates entirely off-grid and is packed up at the end of the season.

ACTIVITIES AT CHICARI CAMP

Chicari Camp offers a variety of expertly guided activities, providing unique ways to explore Gorongosa National Park’s remarkable ecosystem. Embark on thrilling game drives to spot lions, elephants, and Gorongosa’s famous wild dogs, or venture out on walking safaris that can start right from the camp. Seasonal boating excursions reveal the beauty of the Urema floodplain, while bird enthusiasts will delight in the abundant avian species, particularly during the pan’s transformation into a vibrant wetland adorned with lilies and flocks of wading birds.
