Overview
Luangwa luxury
Set in one of the most game-rich areas of South Luangwa National Park, Time + Tide Chinzombo’s natural building materials and vintage accents blend modern style with the best of a traditional bush safari camp.
Its six stunning canvas, timber and reed safari tents – including a two-bedroom, two-bathroom family villa – each have a private pool and soaking tub with panoramic views over the river and its abundant wildlife.
The main lodge beckons down a winding path. Lounge on the riverfront sun deck with a book from the open-air library, sip drinks around the fire and enjoy dinner of homegrown produce under the stars.
