Chongwe River Camp

Settle into this camp in the heart of nature where two rivers meet and the name of the camp reflects two dimensions of existence – welcome to the splendid beauty of Time + Tide Chongwe Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park, one of Zambia’s prime game viewing destinations of all time.

Find Time + Tide’s Chongwe at the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers where natural tides and energies merge to reflect the power and beauty of the wilderness in these parts. Come for the exceptional game viewing in the Lower Zambezi National Park and come for the comfort of a first class safari camp in the rustic modern style known to such lodges.

This part of Zambezi is renowned for its leopard and lion sightings, its elephant herds, antelope and hippo sightings. There are only 8 classic safari tents dotted along the very edge of the banks of the Chongwe River and each one boasts a unique view and setting that makes it special for each guest. 

Awaken to elephants feeding outside your tented chalet or a fish eagle landing on the tree nearby. Watch canoes float by and get on one too to do some game viewing close to the river banks – Time+Tide Chongwe is one of the first camps to be built along the river – it hides beneath a grove of Winterthorn trees with mind blowing views in all directions.

Choose your daily activities  – excellent game drives in mornings, walking safaris or a canoeing safari and you will never forget at Time and Tide Chongwe. 

Welcome to one of the most established camps on the Zambezi and Chongwe Rivers. This camp is found in the Lower Zambezi National Park under huge winterthorn trees where hippos wallow and the peace is overwhelming. Created from wood and thatch and canvas, the tented camp blends into the natural environment yet offers guests every comfort they need for a luxury experience on safari in Zambia. 

Time + Tide’s Chongwe Camp is situated at the confluence of the Chongwe & Zambezi Rivers and offers exceptional game viewing in the Lower Zambezi National Park. Your tented suite has its own view and seems to perch on the sandy banks of the Chongwe river just above the water line.

Stay for longer at Time + Tide Chongwe to revel in the experiences on offer and to make the most of the game viewing. There is a lot more to this camp than just morning and evening drives. The location, the activities, the camp itself, the food and the hospitality make this an incredible stop on your Zambia safari.
