Time + Tide Chongwe House

Hotels Own Introduction

A Private Sanctuary by the River

Set along a tranquil stretch of the Chongwe River, with mountains rising in the distance, Time + Tide Chongwe House is an exclusive wilderness retreat where architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony. This two-storey private house features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to blend into the surrounding terrain.

Open-air bathtubs and showers invite you to bathe beneath the sky, while a generous swimming pool, fire-lit boma and expansive indoor and outdoor lounges create inviting spaces for gathering and shared moments. Interactive dining areas encourage connection, whether over long breakfasts or candlelit dinners in the wild.

Wildlife at Your Doorstep

Nature unfolds all around you. Wake to the cry of fish eagles and the gentle rustle of a resident family of warthogs grazing nearby. Watch elephants crossing the river directly in front of the house — an unforgettable spectacle that defines life on the Chongwe.

Safari & Adventure

From private game drives and guided walking safaris to canoe excursions, boat cruises and tiger fishing, each day offers a new perspective on the Lower Zambezi’s extraordinary biodiversity. This is a haven for lions, leopards, African wild dogs and more than 370 bird species.

Throughout your stay, a dedicated team of staff and expert guides ensures seamless service and deeply immersive experiences, allowing you to savour refined dining, seasonal local ingredients and the raw beauty of Zambia’s wilderness in complete privacy.
