TIME + TIDE CHONGWE HOUSE
Time + Tide Chongwe House is a private, sole use safari house on a peaceful stretch of the Chongwe River, with mountain views and a generous indoor-outdoor flow. Designed for families or groups, the two-storey house has four en suite bedrooms and sleeps up to eight adults, with extra beds available for children. Each room has indoor and outdoor showers, open air baths, double or twin configuration and eco-friendly Evening Breeze cooling. WiFi is available, although there is no phone signal, which adds to the feeling of retreat.
The house includes a large swimming pool, outdoor lounge, boma with fire pit, dining area, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and open flame barbecue, as well as an indoor lounge, bar and dining area. A dedicated staff and culinary team look after the house, while a private guide and activities team shape each day around the group. Activities include morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris, cultural visits, seasonal boat cruises, seasonal canoeing and seasonal tiger fishing. A 20 minute welcome massage is included, and the Time + Tide Sleepout Under the Stars can be added.

Time + Tide are pioneers of luxury safari and island experiences with a long standing commitment to responsible tourism, offering the rare luxury of space and time to step back from the constant pace of everyday life to simply be present.
Our collection spans land and sea in pristine locations, shaped by exceptional teams who share these destinations with care, respect and a deep understanding of place. As a family owned business, our culture is the foundation of our brand. Everything we do is guided by four pillars: community, conservation, sustainability and local economies, ensuring our work supports both people and wilderness for the long term.
Our story brings together decades of passion across Zambia and Madagascar. In the 1950s, Norman Carr pioneered walking safaris in Zambia’s South Luangwa Valley. In the 1990s, the Liebenberg family chose to showcase the Chongwe River in the Lower Zambezi Valley. Later, the Peyre and wider Dalais family set out to protect and share northern Madagascar’s extraordinary archipelago through sustainable ecotourism, with Miavana at its heart and, more recently, Tsara Komba in the Nosy Be archipelago.
Time + Tide was built on a dream of safeguarding rare places through thoughtful travel. Each location we work in needs biodiversity protection and stronger, alternative economies that value natural heritage.
We focus on immersive experiences that connect guests to the landscapes and communities around them, while working alongside local partners, NGOs, authorities and conservation organisations to support lasting protection. Still pioneering, still exploring, our story continues.
