Experience the ultimate in wild luxury at Zambia’s premier safari camp

Named after a type of tree which grows near camp, Time + Tide Chinzombo’s natural building materials and vintage accents blend modern style with the best of a traditional bush safari camp.

Its six spacious luxury safari tents (including a two-bedroom, two-bathroom family tent) rest beneath ancient msikizi trees. Each has a private pool and soaking tub with panoramic views over the river and its abundant wildlife.

The luxury safari tents’ award-winning design features canvas, timber and reed, accented with leather and raw linen. Each stretches out onto a shaded verandah where you can while away the afternoon or unwind with an in-room spa treatment.

Down a winding path, the main lodge beckons. Lounge on the riverfront sun deck with a book from the open-air library. Enjoy dinner under the stars, made with produce we grow ourselves. Sip a drink at the bar while browsing through old books and photos or around the fire pit suspended high atop the river bank.

This is one of the most game-rich areas of South Luangwa National Park. Take a boat across the river with our experienced guides for a game drive, safari walk or boat cruise (seasonal) to catch sight of lions, leopards and other predator action.

We arrived at night not really comprehending what to expect. We couldn't immediately depart the jeep because of two female lions asleep at the disembarkation area! It just got better and better. The camp is extraordinary -- pure luxury in the middle of nature. I can truly give this camp a 10 out of 10 - the staff was so warm and friendly (massages were the best I think I've ever had), the food was perfect and the Safari -- well our guide Phillip was knowledgeable, kind, friendly and patient with all of our questions. Worth the travel, worth the money. If you can -- go! We saw more wildlife than I could ever imagine -- literally around every corner!

"We loved Chinzombo, beautiful animals, fantastic hospitality and vast luxurious tented accommodation. On safari we had many many great sightings and Godfrey our guide was so experienced and knowledgeable that we often were the only people looking at leopards or lions. Back at camp Gogo and all the team were fantastic. Thanks to everyone for a fabulous week."

"My husband and I just spent 4 nights at your lodge for our honeymoon. Everything was incredible; the rooms are so beautiful, the food is delicious and the sightings were amazing. But what really stood out what your staff. From the time we arrived to the moment we left, we felt so taken care of and nothing was too much to ask."

"Chinzombo is a stunning lodge in a beautiful location of the South Luangwa. The rooms are luxurious and spacious, with a deck and plunge pool overlooking the Luangwa River. There is always an abundance of wildlife around the rooms, we had a banded mongoose, bushbuck, elephants and hippo's - just to name a few."
