Chongwe River House is award-winning safari design at its finest. This stunning two story, four-bedroom private house is set on a tranquil stretch of the Chongwe River against a beautiful mountainous backdrop. The Chongwe area is famous for large elephants, and they will frequently wander through camp in search of seed pods from the winterthorn trees or cross the river right in front of the house.

During your stay, enjoy the impressive variety of safari activities, created for the ultimate exploration of this magnificent African paradise. By land, you can enjoy game drives and walking safaris, or take to the rivers and explore with boat cruises, canoeing safaris and tiger-fishing. At the nearby Chongwe River Camp, a brand-new wildlife hide is great for photography, especially rare nocturnal creatures.
