What to Expect
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.
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.
Highlights
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.
Every guide at Time + Tide has earned their stripes through years of training and deep personal connection to the land. Many were raised in the surrounding villages, where learning animal behaviour began long before their first safari. Their understanding of the bush is instinctive, and their ability to share it with you is part of what makes a safari here so memorable.
We often hear about the ‘Big Five’, but in Zambia we speak of the Magnificent Seven. Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, cheetah and African wild dog. Five of these roam the South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Parks, where sightings are not just possible but frequent.
