Love in the wild is an ode to the little things…

The soft touch of a morning breeze, the scent of wildflowers carried by the wind, and the sight of a lioness prowling through the tall grass. It is a celebration of love, shared amidst the wonders of the natural world.

While on safari in Zambia, it’s the smallest things that often leave the most profound impressions. The little, yet extraordinary experiences to savour while exploring the vast and magnificent wilderness of the South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi.

Feel the warmth of the African sunrise as it bathes the landscape in golden hues, illuminating the horizon with a breathtaking glow. Witness the sun setting over the vast expanse, painting the sky with a kaleidoscope of colours that ignite a sense of wonder and serenity deep within your soul. The symphony of the wild as day turns to night, from the distant rumble of lions to the soothing chirps of crickets and the rhythmic calls of nocturnal birds, let the sounds of nature envelop you in a captivating melody that resonates with the heartbeat of the land.

To Nava and the entire team, thank you for your gracious hospitality. Thank you for going the extra mile to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable stay. The food was delicious, with fresh, local ingredients prepared to perfection. We can't recommend Tsara Komba highly enough.”
      Shetil, Guest at Time + Tide Tsara Komba
      "The uniqueness of being in a camp with only four safari tents is the ultimate feeling of luxury.  Luwi overlooks a wide open grassland that on my first morning we watched a high speed chase - a pack of Wilddogs on a hunt.  It was exhilarating to watch and sent our heart rates through the sky adding a lot of chatter and laughter once the pack had passed by."
      Jessica, Guest at Time + Tide Luwi
      "The authenticity and remoteness of the seasonal camps will be a special experience that I will long to return to.  There really is no place on earth that you can really escape like you can at the seasonal camps.  Falling asleep at Kakuli to the distant lion roars and waking to the call of the fish eagle - really what a magical walking safari!"
      Lara, Guest at Time + Tide Kakuli
      "This is the most magical place you're ever likely to experience. Nestled under a grove of imposing Albida trees, it is clearly favoured by the many elephant who graze on the Albida pods. Their presence adds an incredibly special energy to the camp. "
      Charles, Guest at Time + Tide Chongwe Camp
      "To my sheer joy and amazement, I walked into the main camp area one morning after sleeping in, to witness a herd of elephants crossing the Luangwa River. I was alone in camp at the time and that sighting will be the highlight of my trip to Africa… somehow, the solitude, the sound of the beautiful animals swishing through the water and me being the only one to witness it made it quite a spiritual experience."
      Robyn, Guest at Time + Tide Mchenja
      "Our family had the most joyful time at Chongwe, really everything was perfect and every detail taken care of. The team ensured we had the best time at every activity (even tiger fishing!). We felt privileged to spend a few days here and look forward to returning."
      Richard, Guest at Time + Tide Chongwe
      "Our stay at Nsolo was truly unforgettable! We were captivated by the authentic and secluded setting, and the sleepout under the stunning African stars was the absolute highlight of our trip. We highly recommend this unique experience to anyone looking for an adventure off the beaten path."
      Lotte, Guest at Time + Tide Nsolo
      "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."
