Chongwe River Lodge
On August 27, we rose early again to drive back to Mfuwe Airport for
our flight to Lower Zambezi National Park and the Chongwe River
Lodge. We flew to Royal Airport which was a bit more deserving of its
international airport designation. It did have a terminal building made
of concrete blocks after all. This flight took about 45 minutes but it flew
at 10,000 feet and most of us fell asleep rather than sightseeing. Again,
the luggage restrictions announced held no water at all. We just tossed
everything into the tail of the plane.
This beautiful facility was more upscale than Kakuli; Lawrence and Jim
pronounced it "over the top." But it was comfortable with enormous
suites for everyone with private dining areas in between, indoor and
outdoor showers, incredibly beautiful views of the Chongwe River
where it flowed into the Zambezi.
