Highlights
What We Love
- Afternoons in the pool looking over the Luangwa River
- Enjoying the sunset at the large riverside fire pit
- Leaving the lodge behind for a night of fly-camping
When To Visit
Peak Season: June to October
As the greenery dies down, the wildlife becomes easier to both find and see
Green Season: November to May
South Luangwa is a birding paradise and best time to see wild dogs
Overview
Chinzombo stretches out along the mercurial Luangwa River under the shade of mature msikizi trees. The lodge is very much open to the temperate climate with the bar, lounge and dining area all boasting uninterrupted views of the water and land beyond – game watching is definitely possible over brunch!
Stylishly designed with touches of leather and copper, Chinzombo is simultaneously modern and historic: the large tents recall glamorous safaris of the past while being fitted with electronic bed-cooling systems and sizable plunge pools. While idyllic for honeymooners and couples, it also has a family tent with special activities for children. When you’re not out finding leopard or watching breeding herds of elephants, opt for an in-room massage on your sunny deck…
