About This Property
Time + Tide Chinzombo is a Norman Carr Safaris lodge set in tall forest on a loop of the Luangwa River. Its six villas seem to hover in the canopy, looking down on the water, and the modern design stays true to Carr’s low-impact ethos.
From its private concession we head straight into South Luangwa National Park on game drives, walks and night drives, then come back to our own deck and pool.
Why We Love It
We love it for honeymooners and small private groups, with a hot bath and a massage after a day out. It pairs beautifully with the sister camps, or with Victoria Falls and the Lower Zambezi.
Rooms & Details
Safari Tent
Tucked into the tree line above the river, with big windows that open the veranda into the room. The bathrooms are large, with a shower and a deep tub, and the deck has a plunge pool.
Family Suite

Main Areas
A bar, lounge, library, deck, fire pit and pool, built from recycled and locally sourced materials on the bend where Norman Carr once camped.
Dining

Who It's For
Honeymooners and luxury travellers who want South Luangwa’s best design camp with private pools. Families welcome. Combine with a simpler walking bushcamp for contrast.
Best Time to Visit
Open year-round. Dry-season months (roughly May–October) concentrate game and suit walking; green season brings lush bush and fewer vehicles. Confirm boat-activity water levels in peak flood months.
