OVERVIEW ON CHONGWE RIVER CAMP IN LOWER ZAMBEZI
Chongwe River Camp is situated on the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi River, directly opposite Mana Pools. Under a complete canopy of huge Winterthorn Acacias, the camp occupies an unrivalled location, used twice by David Livingstone on his travels, as did Frederick Courtney Selous (See Selous Game Reserve In Tanzania), when he hunted in this, his favorite wilderness! Chongwe River Camp is a luxury ‘bush camp’ situated in a wilderness area; elephant are more numerous than people in the Albida grove. There are no fences and the animals have complete right of way.The Chongwe River is the boundary of the Lower Zambezi National Park, a four thousand square kilometer pristine sanctuary, teeming with game, and said to be one of the continent’s most picturesque wilderness areas. A policy of non-intrusive enjoyment of wildlife and low environmental impact has preserved the area and its wildlife. The Lower Zambezi has become one of southern Africa’s premier destinations for peaceful game viewing and unparalleled tiger fish angling.
