Chongwe River House
Zambia's Lower Zambezi is renowned for its magnificent herds of wild elephant, exceptional predator viewing and of course the Zambezi River.
The Chongwe River, a quiet tributary of the Zambezi, borders the Lower Zambezi National Park offering 4000 sq kms of pristine wilderness teeming with game. Chongwe River House stands on the banks of the magical Chongwe River, and has a sensational view of the dramatic mountainous escarpment beyond. It has been built around a frame of wild wood with ferro walls following the natural lines of the branches. The property comes fully staffed with a guide, house manager and chef - all of whom will tailor your personal safari. The house sleeps 8 in 4 spacious en suite bedrooms, making it an ideal base for a family or a group of friends wanting a private safari. All bedrooms have king size beds under waves of netting. From each bed there is a stunning view of the bush or the escarpment. The bathrooms have waterfall showers and exquisite basins carved from wood and white marble by a Zambian artist. You can gaze out across the bush while lying in your outdoor baths. |

The furniture in the sitting room has been carved from a single fallen winterthorn tree. Coloured pebbles from the river decorate the ceilings.
Sitting on the deck, under a huge winterthorn tree and next to the large pool, your game viewing can be as good as any safari activity! The view across the Zambezi escarpment is magnificent, with the Chongwe River in the foreground - a magnet to wildlife coming to drink – such as elephant, impala, kudu and many others.
As guests at the house, you have personal vehicles, guides, canoes, a boat and an armed scout for walking safaris at your disposal. All activities and meals can be tailored to your and your children’s individual requirements.
A hostess is available to care for children who prefer to remain behind when parents go on game drives. The minimum age of children welcome at this house is 7 years old.
