Chongwe River Camp
Zambia's Lower Zambezi is renowned throughout Africa for its magnificent herds of wild elephant, exceptional predator viewing and of course the Zambezi River.
At Chongwe River Camp there are a variety of accommodation options from which to choose.

There are 9 standard tents which are under thatch, ensuring maximum coolness in the heat of the day. Each has a large outdoor bathroom with hot and cold running water, shower, toilet, vanity unit and dressing area with a wardrobe and full-length mirror. The tents also have their own private verandas overlooking the river, making them an ideal place for you to relax and contemplate Africa’s wonderful wilderness.
