Day 1 – 5 : Chikunto Safari Lodge | South Luangwa National Park

Chikunto Safari Lodge is a new boutique luxury lodge / camp located on an amazing site within the world-renowned South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. Itself recognized as one of Africa's premier National Parks - known as the 'Valley of the Leopard' and famous for its high density of game and the absence of high-volume game-viewing traffic.

Built with the assistance of local villagers from the rural Mfuwe area, Chikunto Safari Lodge is renowned for its game-rich location, the quality of its Guiding and the superb food it consistently delivers. With 5 spacious luxury Tented Suites (including 1 x Two Bedroomed Family Suite and a brand-new Stargazing & Sleep out platform) it never feels crowded at Chikunto. The option of Exclusive Use is also becoming increasingly popular.

The main area incorporates reception, dining area, bar, and lounge under a thatch roof - over-looking a waterhole and the meandering Luangwa River. There is also a fabulous salt-water swimming pool, complete with a counter-current system for those who want to do some exercise. The elevated Stargazing & Sleep out platform provides amazing views of the setting sun and the opportunity to fall asleep to the sounds of the bush, looking up at the stars. Memories for a lifetime.
