THE PULSE Zambia’s New Glam Camp The latest buzz from Zambia is all about Chongwe River Camp (www.chongwe.com), in Lower Zambezi National Park, which has opened the new two-bedroom Albida Suite. The suite has a lounge and dining area that’s outfitted with fine antiques, but we say guests will most enjoy the private pool (shown above), which lies at the Zambezi River’s edge, a great vantage point from which to observe its confluence with the Chongwe River. Guests of the Albida Suite won’t have to sacrifice authentic African ambience in favor of luxury; its bedrooms are custom-designed octagonal tents with organic ferro walls and natural wood, and gauze window treatments can be rolled up to expose views of pathways and gardens. Bathrooms put guests most closely in touch with nature—though covered with a canvas roof, they’re still open to the bush (let your more modest clients know they’re still totally private) and have a bath, double basins and a double shower. Insiders say that the Albida Suite is ideal for families or groups of friends (an additional single bed can be added) and that meals and drinks may be taken in-suite for a truly exclusive dining experience. We hear Chongwe staff have arranged for fellow staffers (and drama club members) to perform for guests, including short plays on local issues (poaching, AIDS, education) or traditional singing and dancing with drums. To book, and to make such unique requests on behalf of your VIP campers, contact Reservations Manager Caroline Jenkins (reser vations@chongweriver.net).
