Embraced in the arms of the South Luangwa River, the splendour of Zambia’s authentic culture and rich landscape is embedded within the award-winning design and atmosphere of Time + Tide Chinzombo. Marrying timber and reed with luxurious waterfront verandas and grass walls enhances the experience of bush safari, whilst also proudly preserving its traditional elements. Each open-planned tent is nestled among the shade of ancient Mitzi trees, allowing you to connect with the best of Africa. It is the perfect balance of minimalism and luxury.

Chinzombo holds the key to rebuilding the connection between man and nature. Begin your day with a sunrise swim amidst a vista of elephants and hippos drinking and playing across the waterfront, then immerse yourself in a sundry of safari activities tailored for all. Step into the shoes of Africa’s most prized predators with walking safaris, as they roam and hunt magnificently around the surrounding terrain. With fascinating safari cruises and canoeing, sing with a chorus of birdsong warbling across the riverside, keeping eyes firmly peeled in the treetops for the sight of a snoozing leopard.

As dawn begins to welcome the dusk, tread the winding path down toward the main lodge to engross yourself in a book from the open-air library, or to enjoy a refreshing beverage at the bar. Dinner under the starlit sky, made with delicious homegrown produce, provides the perfect way to end the day, surrounded by the warmth of the fire pit on top of your veranda or on the riverfront deck.
