Even though the Time + Tide camps may be located thousands of miles from your home, across oceans and nations, we want every visitor to feel like family from the moment they arrive. From the bottom to the top, we are a family business – a value that permeates every aspect of our operation. Our roots are family-based, with Norman Carr and his family founding and operating our South Luangwa camps for many years. As a young child, Chris Liebenberg, a co-founder of our Lower Zambezi camps, was inspired to pursue ecotourism by his mentorship with Norman Carr. When the families eventually came together to form Time + Tide, they were introduced by mutual friends, finding a natural harmony between the two.
We value every team member, with our longest standing employee being with us for 51 years. Many of our staff have worked here for 10, 20 and 30 years, with countless team members’ cousins, children and even grandchildren joining the Time + Tide family as well. There is a great sense of pride in everything we do, with a shared belief in the company’s ultimate goals of delivering the best safari experience possible for every guest and preserving these precious natural areas for generations to come.
As family-run businesses that came together under the Time + Tide brand, you will feel the passion and dedication at each of our destinations. From the welcome drink handed to you on arrival to the delicious meals made from homegrown produce, we will become your home away from home. Hear our songs as we sing under the stars, sip coffee with us around the campfire as the sun rises over the river, immerse into the cultural tales told by your guide and taste the love baked into every dessert. Come, join our family and our mission to conserve Africa’s wildest corners. We can’t wait to welcome you…

"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 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 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.

The lodge is stunning and all the staff are utterly wonderful. The views from the lodge are outstanding, lovely Liuwa wilderness.
My bedroom was incredibly comfortable, very stylish, hitting a difficult combination of minimalist yet luxury. Incredibly comfortable bed and many relaxing areas to rest.
Mandy, Guest at Time + Tide King Lewanika
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.

"Thank you for embracing the unique culture of Barotseland through storytelling, song, dance, drums and the marimba - this is a jewel in the necklace of the African Parks managed conservation areas we are visiting across Africa - much appreciated."
Kingsley Holgate, Guest at Time + Tide King Lewanika
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.
