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 House

The Lower Zambezi National Park

The Chongwe River House is built on the banks of the Chongwe River.

The house looks up the river and onto the dramatic Zambezi Escarpment. The light on the hills changes minute by minute and the hills are mesmerizing. The river, a constant source of water for the game, has easy access for the wildlife and thus it’s a great place to sit and watch elephant, antelope and more come down to drink.

The house itself is very elegant and peaceful. There are four en suite bedrooms, all of which have open and spectacular views. The open dining and sitting room overlook the river and the natural grassy terrace leading to the river will be the site for moonlit dinners. The quartz rounded pebbles from the river, all of different shades of white, cream and natural reds, and the different colour earths of the area feature strongly in the house giving it a unique character.

Activities from the house include game drives in open 4WDs, boating and canoeing on the Zambezi and fishing.
