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.
