About The Adventure

This is a surreal place, gently set apart from the busy world. The island is fringed by a beautiful forest, while a soft sand path leads inward to a cluster of century old baobabs. This is our safari island Tsowa. A pioneer inspired camp placed on the river, seeped in luxury and considered space. Wake to the calls of the resident Pel’s Fishing Owl and the soundtrack of the crickets. Fall asleep to the calls of hyena and lions. The camp is on a site chosen for its magnificent forest canopy and enormous termite mound resting gently alongside the lounge. The golden green light pours through the trees and forest vines in the early morning and late afternoon. The fire pit deck is suspended over the Zambezi river and afternoons can be spent watching the reflection of the sunset over the Zambezi National Park as animals come down to drink.

Things are done differently here at Tsowa Safari Island. There is always the want to create a tangible connection between guests and chefs, so some of the meals are cooked in the open kitchen in the dining room. A warm space, Zimbabwean hospitality feels like coming home.

Delightful living areas layered with light and texture. Always enjoying a view of the river, wherever you are in camp. Lose hours in an armchair or hammock. Let nature unfold before you.
