WELCOME TO

Time + Tide Chongwe Camp

LOWER ZAMBEZI

Overview

The river is at the heart of this camp, with safari activities including boat cruises, canoeing safaris or tiger fishing. It’s a haven for wildlife sightings due to the small number of camps in the area – you’ll find few other people here.

Rooms

The camp has eight classic tents, each with a panoramic view along the Chongwe River. The tents have overhead fans, an open-air bathroom and a porch area with comfortable lounge chairs, all furnished with local fabrics and materials.

Facilities

Meals and drinks are prepared in camp and taken in the relaxed main lounge-dining-bar area. Along with the safari activities, there is a wildlife hide in the camp itself, which is great for photography and the opportunity to spot those rare nocturnal creatures.
Due to the remote nature, limited Wi-Fi is available in camp.

The camp is open 1 April – 15 November. Children of all ages are welcome.

Activities

Facilities may change. Some activities may be subject to an additional charge.

Our thoughts

"There are many wildlife and active experiences to take part in at Chongwe Camp. Enjoy a canoeing safari, fishing or a sleepout under the stars (July to October)."

Mr & Mrs C

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

Mr & Mrs S via Spear Travels

" We had a wonderful time! We loved the journey and whole experience on Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Vic Falls. We especially enjoyed Victoria Falls and the wildlife in the grounds of the hotel! We liked Mauritius alot. "

Mr & Mrs P via Michael Carter Travel

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"

Mrs V

"South Africa was absolutely fabulous. Too many highlights to mention. The “stand out” for us was definitely the Rovos Train. The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was exciting & the Safari at Shamwari was superb! Driving the Garden route (& sometimes off the beaten track !) was stunning. Great memories of such a lovely country."
