Why we love it
Wildly luxurious, designed by award winning architects Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, this camp brings levels of comfort, style and elegance previously unseen to the Luangwa Valley. The camp has spacious living areas that melt into their surroundings of this beautiful property.
Gigantic, ancient shade trees offer peace and tranquillity for guests staying in any one of the six spacious villas, one of which is a suite with extra space such as double bathrooms, for families or small groups. Each of the six villas has its own private plunge pool, cooled sleeping areas, and massive bathroom with luxurious spa amenities.
The rooms are spacious, each containing two three-quarter or one king-sized bed. There is a wardrobe and shelving storage in the rooms, as well as an indoor and/or outdoor comfortable seating area and table. After dark, a member of staff will accompany you to and from your room, lighting the way and watching out for local wildlife.
Chinzombo Camp has earned a reputation for the quality and range of food so you can expect cuisine of the highest standards. The chefs have been trained in-house and they are more than happy to cater for any personal requests.
Known for its sightings of leopard, head out into the fresh breeze in the early morning sun to spot the elusive creature or any of the incredible wildlife that call Chizombo's surroundings home.
After a delicious homemade breakfast, follow your guide out on foot into one of the most game rich areas in South Luangwa National Park.
Take advantage of the camp's direct water access into the Zambezi River to head out in the warmth and join sunbathing hippos enjoying the scenery.
Unwind after your safari experience with an in-house spa treatment and feel pampered whilst overlooking the Luangwa River.
Watch as predators come to the river's edge, drawn by the huge gathering of thirsty grazers, as you explore the Luangwa and Zambezi Rivers.
Fall asleep under a canopy of twinkling stars to a chorus of nocturnal sounds, after dining in the open bush with a culinary team.
Follow in the footsteps of legendary conservationist Norman Carr, and experience the best wildlife South Luangwa has to offer through his original seasonal camps.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
