About this property
Chisomo Safari Camp is alive with the old-world romance of safari - canvas and thatch opening to shaded gathering spaces, lantern light, the hum of conversation, and the bush just beyond. Generous lounges, a spacious bar and sociable dining areas make Chisomo a camp full of connection, while shaded tented suites offer comfort and privacy when you need it. With two bomas, one at the heart of camp, the other tucked closer to the river, evenings carry the warmth of firelight and the rhythm of the bush. Relaxed and welcoming, it is the perfect setting for families, groups or travelers who want safari to feel both authentic and shared. At Chisomo Safari Camp, the Luxury Tented Suites capture the essence of an authentic safari stay. Canvas walls and thatched roofs bring you closer to the wilderness, while refined interiors balance comfort with a timeless safari charm. Each suite is furnished with king-sized beds draped in soft netting, leather armchairs, and warm wooden accents, creating an atmosphere both rustic and elegant. Private bathrooms with walk-in showers add a touch of modern ease, while the roll-up canvas sides open the space to the sounds and scents of the bush. Private decks invite you to pause between game drives, watching the light shift through the trees and feeling part of nature’s rhythm. More than accommodations, these suites are an immersion — a return to the romance of safari as it was always meant to be experienced.
