History
Chongwe House stands on the banks of the Chongwe River, a tributary of the Zambezi bordering Lower Zambezi National Park. Designed by architect Neil Rocher, a specialist in ecological-tourism projects, the four-bedroom private house was built from a striking blend of concrete, stone, thatch and 25 dead leadwood trees, its sculptural curving walls and organic forms famously drawing comparisons to Gaudí and earning a place among Condé Nast Traveller's most extraordinary "Extreme Architecture."
Opened in April 2006 and set in the shade of a winterthorn and ebony grove, the property was developed by Robin Pope Safaris and today operates as Time + Tide Chongwe House, an exclusive-use safari villa in the Chiawa/Lower Zambezi area.
