"We loved the 3 days we spent at this camp and wished we could have stayed longer. Everything about it was perfect: the location at the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers; the view of the mountains from the river, the location overlooking the lagoon where elephants came every afternoon to cool off; the healthy and delicious meals; the comfortable accommodation; the peaceful and relaxed ambiance; the warm and welcoming staff who treated us like royalty."

Jasmine, Guest at Time + Tide Chongwe

"Our family had the most joyful time at Chongwe, really everything was perfect and every detail taken care of. The team ensured we had the best time at every activity (even tiger fishing!). We felt privileged to spend a few days here and look forward to returning."

Richard, Guest at Time + Tide Chongwe
