Chongwe Fishing Camp

Chongwe Fishing Camp lies on a secluded bend in the Chongwe River at its confluence with the main stream of the Zambezi opposite the western boundary of the Lower Zambezi National Park.

The camp is utilised as a timeshare for guests on fishing safaris and is situated approximately midway between Kayila Lodge and Mwambashi River Lodge.

The camp comprises a central open thatch dining area, a plunge pool and five well appointed twin-bed timber and thatch chalets. Each unit has its own en-suite shower and toilet facilities.

Dedicated anglers and casual "fisherpeople" alike visit Chongwe Fishing Camp each year to experience some of the finest freshwater angling in the world.

The area boasts a wide range of species including the famous fighting Tigerfish which occurs only in this region of southern Africa.

Fishing is by accepted spinning and bait methods with fly-fishing becoming ever more popular amongst purists of the sport.

For some time the camp has boasted its own resident herd of elephant that to the delight of guests visit regularly to drink from the plunge pool and the hosepipes used to water the grounds.

The fishing and game viewing along this stretch of the river is particularly rewarding.
