About Time + Tide Chongwe Camp
Take in some of the Lower Zambezi’s finest views, looking out across the meeting point of two powerful rivers. Time + Tide Chongwe Camp sits where the Chongwe River winds through a forested valley before joining the Zambezi, a setting that naturally draws wildlife and delivers memorable sightings.
Recently refurbished, the camp is made up of eight classic safari tents set along the river’s edge. Each one is positioned for sweeping views over the Chongwe, with a spacious open air bathroom, a shaded porch with comfortable lounge chairs, and thoughtful details including local textiles and handcrafted furniture. It is an easy place to settle in, with the river always in sight and the valley’s calm all around you.
Days flow through the relaxed main lounge, where our team serves satisfying meals, your favourite drinks, and warm hospitality that feels personal from the start. When you are ready for quiet watching, the wildlife hide offers a rewarding vantage point for photography and, after dark, the chance of spotting more elusive nocturnal visitors.
Lower Zambezi National Park remains wonderfully uncrowded, with only a small number of camps spread along the river. That sense of space is matched by variety on safari. Head out on game drives and walking safaris, then take to the water for boat cruises and canoeing safaris that bring you close to the river’s edge. For something different, try your hand at tiger fishing and feel the pull of the Zambezi in a completely new way.
