Lower Zambezi, Zambia

Chongwe House

Secluded retreat on the Lower Zambezi

Luxurious safari house built with connection and adventure in mind

At its heart, Chongwe House is a place for comfort and connection. Here, distractions are few and the focus is on reconnecting, be it with nature, with loved ones or with yourself. Located along the tranquil banks of the Chongwe River, Chongwe House offers an intimate escape into the heart of the Lower Zambezi in Zambia

The house itself, with its earthy tones and smooth, curved walls, feels like an organic extension of the landscape. Designed to echo the surroundings, it invites you to embrace the outdoors with its large open spaces that encourage families and friends to come together. Each of the four bedrooms features both indoor and outdoor showers, as well as open-air bathtubs where you can bathe beneath the African sky. With a dedicated chef and culinary team, enjoy a leisurely lunch on the deck overlooking the river or a relaxed barbecue under the stars.

Each day, your private guide crafts your adventures. Embark on an early morning game drive when the bush is alive with the calls of birds and the rustling of wildlife. Glide along the river in a canoe, letting the gentle current carry you past the thriving wilderness or take a peaceful walk, where your guide will share insights into the lesser-known wonders of the ecosystem.
