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.

A two-storey, four-bedroom, four-bathroom private house, its design blends effortlessly into the undulating landscape around it. 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.

Listen to fish eagle calls and the faint sound of a resident family of warthogs ‘mowing’ the grass outside. Watch elephants wade across the river right in front of the house. Savour fine dining in the wild, featuring local and seasonal ingredients.

Private game drives, walking safaris, canoeing safaris, boat cruises and tiger fishing are all on offer at Time + Tide Chongwe House. Throughout your stay, a dedicated staff and guiding team will look after your every need and ensure you make the most of this haven for lions, leopards, wild dog, 370 species of birds and more.
