Reasons To
Visit Zambia

  • Big cats & safari wildlife

    Zambia is a safari destination for the connoisseur, boasting a fantastic range of wildlife in its diverse national parks. Many amazing game experiences can be had within the national parks, with lion virtually guaranteed and leopard in abundance. This superb array of game can be appreciated on foot, by car or on the water.

  • Birds

    Zambia offers the full range of fascinating, colourful birdlife you’d expect to see on safari, with a range of water based birds in the Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Parks. The Bangweulu Wetlands are one of the few places on the planet where you can see the impressive Shoebill Stork.

  • Boat trips

    An evening cruise on the Zambezi in Livingstone and game viewing from Kafue’s Lufupa River are wonderfully relaxing, but best of all are the water based activities in the Lower Zambezi. Drifting slowly down river, observing elephants coming into drink as the sun goes down is one of the definitive African experiences.

    Boat trips

  • Night drives

    With night drives offered in all of the major national parks, Zambia is arguably the best destination in Africa to observe nocturnal wildlife. The South Luangwa in particular is known for outstanding leopard sightings, and there is a tangible excitement to watching how wildlife behaves after dark.

  • Victoria Falls

    By any judgement Victoria Falls is an awesome force of nature. During the wet season up to 550 million litres of water cascades over the lip of the Falls each minute, offering an intensely photogenic experience. The spectacle that so bewitched David Livingstone is still equally impressive today.

  • Walking safari

    With superb guides and remote wilderness, the country that invented the walking safari is still the premier walking destination on the continent. There is nothing quite like approaching elephants or buffalo on foot knowing full well that you are a mere guest in their territory.

Chongwe River Camp

The Lower Zambezi National Park

Chongwe River Camp is set under a canopy of winterthorn acacias on the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers.

There are fantastic views along the Chongwe River towards the escarpment as well as over the majestic Zambezi. The eight rooms all face onto the river and consist of large and comfortable mulati tents covered by thatched roofs with a large luxury open air bathroom at the rear. The food is excellent and all meals are eaten al fresco on the banks of the river.

A pod of hippos lives in the Chongwe River just in front of the lodge and crocodiles often laze on the opposite riverbank alongside storks, herons and geese, whilst a resident fish eagle is often seen swooping down into the river to catch its lunch. A wide variety of birdlife can be found in the trees around the lodge and elephants often meander down to the river for a drink during the day.

The activities from the lodge include game drives in open 4WD safari vehicles, walking safaris, boat cruises along the Zambezi, canoe trips along the beautiful Chongwe River, and tiger fishing under a 'catch and release' policy.
