South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

Gold price level

Mango Opinion

Although at the absolute top of the market in price for South Luangwa, Chinzombo is the place to go for those looking for luxury or a well needed splurge. Expect top end finishes, food and safari experience. The location in Mfuwe is near several other lodges so you could share the park with other vehicles.

Chinzombo is a lovely camp in South Luangwa National Park that offers an ultra-luxury retreat amid a beautiful and tranquil setting. Award-winning designers created an oasis of modern luxury that blends beautifully into its natural setting, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the abundant nearby wildlife.

Six stunning tented villas featuring private pools sit peacefully under ancient trees, shading them from the warm African sun. Perfectly secluded and infused with safari elegance, Chinzombo brings a never before seen level of luxury to the midst of the unspoiled beauty of the park's nature. Crisp linens, modern lines, sleek materials and an open plan create a truly unique retreat. Curving along the banks of the Luangwa River, each of the camp's buildings has spectacular views of the wildlife drawn to the life-giving waters.

Whether visiting during the dry or lush rainy season visitors will be greeted with a remarkably diverse collection of wildlife such as hippos, zebras, antelopes, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles and buffalo. The pristine wilderness bustling with creatures gave rise to the original 'walking safari' and is still a wonderful place to explore with expert guides. Game drives and boat safaris are also excellent choices for ventures through the area. Any way you choose to go, there will be great chances to photograph the wildlife in their natural setting.
