'If you wait long enough, Africa will come to you'
Chongwe River House is located on the banks of the magical Chongwe River, a magnet for wildlife. In 2025, the villa was remodeled and transformed; earthy tones, curved lines and neutral interiors characterize the retreat where indoor and outdoor spaces blend effortlessly. The luxury residence includes four spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a pool and terrace overlooking the Chongwe River where mighty herds of elephants and predators come to quench their thirst. It is therefore the ideal base of operations for fantastic safaris by 4x4, on foot, by canoe or... from the pool.
To capture wildlife, all you have to do is lift your finger and press the button on your camera and do so from your deck chair on the terrace. Staying here is a wonderfully intimate private safari experience with a funky touch. The Chongwe River House is an ideal destination for families with children. The safaris are customized, tailored to the needs of your travel party.
