Activities at Chongwe River Camp

There is so much to do at Chongwe River Camp.

The game viewing is exceptional, and few other places can give you the choice of game drives in open safari vehicles, guided walking, canoeing or motor boating.

Fishing is also a popular option.

Be sure to stay for a few days to take advantage of all these opportunities, and remember also to allow time just to relax and enjoy the views from the camp.

Game Viewing: by car, by boat or on foot

Both day and night drives are available, and groups can plan their activities around their preferences.

Walking adds an extra dimension to your game viewing, and also gives the chance to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the bush.

The Lower Zambezi is renowned for superb canoeing safaris - the most unobtrusive  way to encounter big game

Chongwe specialises in walking safaris, affording time to learn about the not so obvious secrets of the bush

And for something different; sometimes we surprise our guests with special dinners and picnics out in the bush.

Fishing

The Zambezi is home to one of the world's premiere game fish, the Tiger.

The variety in the Zambezi, Hydrocynus vittatus, can grow up to 10 -12 Kg and is a superb fighter.

The facts about Tiger fish angling and popular belief differ, so please be warned that we operate a strict catch and release policy.

There are plenty of bream and chessa, as well as many varieties of catfish. You will certainly have a fight on your hands if you hook a Vundu (Bagrus Catfish), which can grow up to almost 100 lbs!

Standard tackle, including fly rods, is provided - Serious fly fishermen may wish to bring their own rods and/or tackle. Please inquire further for fly tackle advice.
