Chinzombo Camp
South Luangwa National Park

Accommodation
Chinzombo Camp brings levels of comfort, style and elegance previously unseen to the Luangwa Valley. Six spacious villas (150m2) – one of which is designed to accommodate a family of at least five are nestled within the shade of ancient trees in a wildlife rich area along the Luangwa River. Each villa has its own plunge pool and a large, bright terrace with a very comfy lounge. At Chionzombo guests truly get spoiled.

The spacious main building is equally stylish and includes a lounge corner, swimming pool, curio shop, an outdoor fireplace, bar and dining area. Here, guests don't eat together at a long table like in the classic bush camps. Chinzombo is more reminiscent of the Botswana camps in style and was built by the same architects who built some of the most famous Wilderness camps, including North Island in the Seychelles.

Location
Chinzombo Camp is located outside South Luangwa National Park and can be reached from Mfuwe Airport in less than an hour. The access road turns left just before the main bridge to South Luangwa National Park and leads south along the river. The camp is located right on the edge of the river.

Guests cross the river by boat or by vehicle (if water levels permit) to access the National Park without having to cross Mfuwe main bridge. However, both sides of the river are equal when it comes to the abundance of wildlife they offer. Elephants cross the river all the time and know no park boundaries. In the morning some local fishermen may fish on the Luangwa, which is allowed here.

Wildlife
Lion, leopard and hyena are relatively easy to find, wild dog less so. The Luangwa River flows right past the front door and plays host to crocodile and hippo. This region is also home to elephant, buffalo, zebra, kudu, impala, puku and a large variety of birdlife, in particular large colonies of bea-eater from September to October.

Thornicroft's giraffe, Cookson's wildebeest and Crawshay's zebra are unique to South Luangwa National Park.

Activities
The camp offers game drives in an open 4x4 vehicle, walks with armed rangers.

The camp is open all year round. During the so-called secret season (rainy season from January to March), boat trips are on offer as well.

We recommend a visit to the nearby Mulberry Mongoose shop, where eight women from the neighbouring village make and sell beautiful jewelry from local materials.

Good to know
Wi-fi in each villa. Spa treatments are available.
