{"product_id":"time-tide-chongwe-house","title":"Time + Tide Chongwe House","description":"\u003cp\u003eTime + Tide Chongwe House is a privately booked, four-bedroom house on the Chongwe River in the Lower Zambezi — one group of four to eight people takes the whole property. Elephants wade across the river in front of the house regularly enough that you will want a chair facing the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe building draws on its surroundings: river pebble runs through the design, and the furniture was carved from a single fallen winterthorn tree. Each of the four bedrooms has its own bathroom, an open-air bath, and a shower fed from above. Rooms also come with verandahs, mosquito nets, fans, and a fireplace for cooler nights. A large pool anchors the deck, with both covered and open seating areas for meals and rest. A resident team of guides and household staff runs the property for the duration of your stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActivities go out in open four-wheel-drive vehicles, on foot, by canoe, and by boat on the Zambezi. Tiger fishing — catch-and-release — is a draw; the Lower Zambezi is one of the better places in Africa to find the species. Night drives extend the afternoon session as light fades. A wildlife hide near the house is set up for photography and nocturnal sightings. Three hundred and seventy bird species have been recorded here; fish eagles are audible from inside the house. The Chiawa Cultural Village, a community-owned enterprise run in partnership with the Goba people of Chiawa, is available as an off-site excursion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeals are prepared by an in-house culinary team using local and seasonal ingredients, with timing arranged around the group's schedule. A complimentary airport shuttle connects to Lusaka.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43532344524859,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/204711758573792323chongwehousetop-oliverflyphotography92jpg_f3524645-c8ae-4eb5-be87-690bacd4690b.webp?v=1779341248","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-za\/products\/time-tide-chongwe-house","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
