XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

The location of this extraordinary house is at the end of a massive winterthorn grove, on the banks of the peaceful Chongwe River, a tributary of the Zambezi. The view of the nearby mountainous escarpment is spectacular. The entire house is built of ferro walls and wild wood and there is not a single straight line to be seen. From the main room guests look out over the deck and pool to the river and mountains beyond.

All the furniture in the sitting room has been carved from a single huge fallen winterthorn tree. The ground floor bedrooms are each entered through a tunnel which gives the feeling of walking through a cave. The curved entrance gives privacy without the need for doors.

The Chongwe area is famous for huge male elephants feeding through the winterthorn grove. From the bedrooms, the sitting room and the deck guests will have game in view, feeding and watering. And of course, a couple of minutes away, the mighty Zambezi offers spectacular boating and fishing.
