Chinzombo carries a quieter kind of acclaim, shaped by its South Luangwa setting, considered hospitality and the way the stay keeps landscape, comfort and safari rhythm in careful balance, without letting polish overwhelm the feeling of being properly in place. Historically, Chinzombo earned the titles of Best New Property in Africa in 2014 and 2015 by Safari Awards and continues to feature in top tier nomination lists.
Chinzombo sits in South Luangwa, Zambia, within riverine woodland and oxbow country shaped by the Luangwa River. The setting keeps the stay grounded in the surrounding landscape, with wildlife, light and distance shaping the sense of place before each day’s safari begins.
From the UK, most journeys connect through Lusaka, Livingstone or regional hubs before continuing by light aircraft or road to the safari area.
For Zambia’s strongest combinations, light aircraft is often the most practical way to preserve safari time between remote parks.
Home of the walking safari, one of the founders, Norman Carr is acknowledged as the father and pioneer of the walking safari in Africa. That legacy lives on today.
