Chinzombo: Our full report

Opening in March 2013 and designed for those seeking considerable luxury and style, Chinzombo is an old name for a brand new venture. Norman Carr Safaris first used the Chinzombo site for their green season camp as far back as the 1970’s. Now they are in the final stages of building what promises to be the most luxurious lodge in the Luangwa.

We visited the site in October 2012 to check on its progress, and were impressed - we have high hopes for Chinzombo. It is set on 25 hectares along the Luangwa River, just west of Kapani and will have six spacious villas, each with a private plunge pool, designed for a family of up to five. You can expect huge rooms with cooled sleeping areas, and a massive bathroom with luxurious spa amenities. All designed by the same team behind the stunning North Island in the Seychelles, Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens.
