Chitengo Camp
Acampamento de Chitengo
The park headquarters and main camp, with accommodation, a restaurant and a swimming pool. All safaris and tours depart from here.
Chitengo Camp was built in the 1940s and serves as the park's headquarters and visitor centre. It has wooden cabins, tent sites, a restaurant, a swimming pool and a small exhibition. Warthogs, baboons and samango monkeys often wander through the camp. Game drives, lake tours, laboratory visits and community programmes all depart from here. A basic airstrip near the camp can accommodate charter flights. Book accommodation and activities in advance through the park's official website, as the camp often fills up in the dry and peak seasons.
