Zambia & Madagascar

Chongwe River Camp is nestled in a unique and unrivalled location situated directly opposite Mana Pools in Zimbabwe and looks onto the confluence of the Chongwe channel and the Zambezi River with the mountains of the escarpment to the north. The Chongwe channel is perfect for canoe trips as it is relatively free of hippos and strong currents.

Activities offered at Chongwe are varied, from day and night 4WD game drives in open vehicles, walking safaris with your guide and an armed parks scout, to river activities including canoeing and gentler trips in the larger motor boats. You could also choose to take a full day drive into the park if you wish - Chongwe is situated just outside the park boundary in the Game Management area but still in a very game rich area. Or you can try your hand at fishing, on a catch and release basis - tiger fish are a specialty and the guides at Chongwe are all expert fishermen.
