Find this legendary Zambian safari camp in a game management area on a bend in the Chongwe River, about 80 km from the mighty Zambezi where game viewing is rich and bush walks the main attraction.  Elephants love this region, swimming in the rivers and munching on the lush vegetation including the seed pods of the winter thorn trees that shade the camp. Plenty of antelope and zebra herds, crocs and hippos too. Such a picturesque riverine scene is Chongwe Camp with exceptional service and five-star hospitality.

The camp boasts nine intimate safari tents with ensuite showers raised on solid concrete bases with canvas roofs to regulate the temperatures and ensure they do not impact on nature. Families and groups who like to be alone will love the private 

Chill time in the main area is motivated by the extreme beauty of the destination with its large canvas rooftop hanging in the trees hiding a delightful bar and plush safari-style lounge. Watch wildlife all day as it wanders through camp and along the river banks and learn about the biodiversity of the valley from your expert game rangers and guides. 

There’s a jetty, an outside dining room, a boma for dinners around the fire, comfy chairs wherever you go and a very welcoming swimming pool for those midday dips. Enjoy a plethora of exciting activities from canoeing down the river, and boat trips to find birds and crocs, to fishing on a catch-and-release basis and day and night game drives every day to find leopards, wild dogs and more.
