Time + Tide South Luangwa National Park
Known as the Valley of the Leopard, it is in South Luangwa National Park that the legendary Norman Carr, Time + Tide’s founding father, pioneered walking safaris and conservation-based tourism in Africa. Today, the award-winning Zambian guides, some trained by Norman himself, offer guests a warm welcome to one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world.
Smell the pot of coffee on the campfire at sunrise as you anticipate the day’s activities. At sundowners, sip a gin and tonic while being dazzled by plains game under a glowing red sky. Discover the difference between lion and leopard paws as you trace your finger over their prints on the soil. Admire a family of elephants or a herd of cape buffalo on a safari drive. Marvel at the richness of 450 bird species one minute, and a pack of endangered wild dogs the next.
Stretching out over 9,000 square kilometres, and only an hour’s flight away from Lusaka or Lilongwe, this unfenced and unspoiled wilderness feels a world away from modern life.
Why we love South Luangwa National Park:
Walking Safaris
The South Luangwa is the birth place of luxury walking safaris with the most experienced guides in Africa.
Sleep Out
Just like the early explorers, you fall asleep under a canopy of a million twinkling stars, listening to the susurrations of the nighttime bush.
Luxury Lodges
Named after a type of tree which grows near camp, Time + Tide Chinzombo is Zambia’s most luxurious lodge and blends modern style with the best of a traditional bush safari camp.
