{"product_id":"chelinda-camp-28940","title":"Chelinda Camp","description":"\u003cp\u003eEstablished within Nyika National Park by Central African Wilderness Safaris — a family-run operator founded in 1987 — Chelinda Camp overlooks a clear-water dam on the edge of the High Nyika Plateau. The Plateau sits at high altitude in northern Malawi; rolling montane grassland stretches to distant ridges, and pine forest backs the camp. Six en-suite twin-bedded rooms share a main lodge with dining, bar, lounge, and fireplace. Four self-catering chalets hold two bedrooms apiece, each with a bathroom, lounge, dining area, small kitchen, and fireplace; these accommodate private groups with their own guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDay and night game drives cross the open grassland and ancient forest, tracking zebra, eland, roan antelope, serval, and leopard. Hiking trails range from one to five days; the Livingstonia Trail descends from Chelinda to the Livingstonia Mission on the Khondowe plateau, passing through montane forest and smallholder coffee villages. Mountain-bike routes thread the gravel road network; maps are provided at camp. Fly-fishing runs from the dam's deck and banks — the water is stocked with rainbow trout, introduced during a 1960s pine-plantation project. Night drives cross the Plateau after dark, spotting hyaena and serval, then stop on the airstrip to take in the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNyika holds over 400 bird species, including Bar-tailed Trogon, Chapin's Apalis, and Denham's Bustard. Temperatures drop after dark; fireplaces warm the lodge and chalets each evening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43844543971387,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/chelinda-camp-lodge-chelinda-malawi-01.webp?v=1784798111","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/chelinda-camp-28940","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
