Your luxurious sole-use safari house

Time + Tide Chongwe House rests on a peaceful stretch of the Chongwe River, set against a beautiful mountainous backdrop.

Featuring private open-air bathtubs and showers, a large swimming pool, boma area with fire-pit and spacious indoor and outdoor lounges with interactive dining areas perfect for spending time together.

"Wow. Where to start. Have just returned from 5 nights at Chongwe House with 3 other couples. What a luxury the house is. Kyembe, Kornelius and the team looked after us so well. The house and rooms are amazing. The beds are so big and so comfortable that a great nights sleep was had and the 5.30 wake up call for the morning game drive was not a problem. The food all week was amazing."
