35 km upstream from Chongwe between Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe

of Albida groves and reeded channels, with a sandy plain to the North.

Tsika
Island was purpose built to offer guests an exclusive bush camp
experience with the option of a canoe safari along the lower Zambezi to
either Kasaka River Lodge or Chongwe River Camp.
The
camp features just 3 rustic chalets allowing a maximum of 7 guests.
With no predators on the island, the buildings feature open ferro
structures under village thatch to complement the island bush
experience, with coco poles securing the windows and beds set under full
walk in mosquito nets.
The
en-suite bathrooms are fully private with hot and cold running water.
The dining space is built to the same open design offering a large
covered room with local village artifacts decorating the bar. And of
course no bush camp experience would be complete without the traditional
campfire and comfortable lounge chairs out front!
Tsika
Island is a true partnership with the nearby village, which retains
ownership of the island. Chongwe Safaris, as well as leasing the island
from the Village, gives $50 per bed night back to the community. For
this reason, in addition to the other activities’, we also encourage
Tsika guests to visit Chiawa Cultural Village and Mugurameno Village and
School during their stay to learn more of the local Goba people.The camp features just 3 rustic chalets allowing a maximum of 7 guests.

Each
spacious room can comfortably accommodate either double or twin
occupancy. Our third chalet, slightly larger, can also accommodate a
third single bed for triple occupancy. All beds are set under full walk
in mosquito nets.
