The Detail

Situated along a scenic bend of the Luangwa River, Time and Tide Chinzombo combines elegance and sophistication in the heart of the Luangwa Valley. While exuding luxury, the camp maintains an authentic bush feel with its grass and canvas walls, blending seamlessly into the tranquil riverside surroundings.

Accommodation

Chinzombo redefines luxury in the Luangwa Valley with a stylish, comfortable, and elegant design. The camp features six luxurious villas, including a family-specific two-bedroom villa, each equipped with a private pool, air-cooled sleeping areas, expansive bathrooms, and Wi-Fi. The main lodge complements these accommodations with dining areas, a lounge, a bar, a campfire area, and a riverfront deck.

The luxury tents offer indulgent soaking tubs with views of the riverfront, large verandahs with private pools, and spacious interiors that include a lounge area. Guests can choose between double or twin-bed setups. The tents are equipped with mains power, multi-adaptor plugs, limited Wi-Fi, and phone signal availability.

The villa's spacious interiors include a comfortable lounge area and can be configured with either double or twin beds. Modern amenities in the villa include mains power and multi-adaptor plugs, though wifi and phone signals are limited.

Activities

Walking Safaris

Walking safaris are where all your senses are heightened and you can see, hear, smell and feel the bush.

Game Drives

Night drives typically begin as an extension of the afternoon game drive or walking safari. As dusk falls, you'll stop to watch the sunset before setting off to discover the nocturnal wildlife. This is the prime time to encounter genets, civets, elephant shrews, porcupines, and fierce honey badgers.

Large predators, except wild dogs, are also more active after dark, enhancing your chances of thrilling sightings. Birdwatching at night is equally rewarding, with an abundance of nightjars, owls, dikkops, bat hawks, and coursers.

Star Gazing

The African night sky, free from light pollution, offers a breathtaking backdrop. The brilliance of the Milky Way and constellations like the Southern Cross, Orion, and Scorpio add to the unforgettable experience. The distant calls of lions, cicadas, and tree frogs under the crescent moon create lasting memories of the African wilderness.

Shann @ Safari.com is fantastic!
We worked with Shann Shaw and she was amazing! As someone who usually books my own travel I was a little bit skeptical at first... But safaris are not like a typical vacation and there are just SO many different options. Shann was incredibly patient in answering all of my questions, and eventually found the perfect safari lodge for me and my family. I really don't think I could have done it without her help. Highly recommend working with her!

Booking with Leigh-Ann Croeser
Thank you for this fantastic booking experience. Leigh-Ann Croeser did everything to let my wishes become reality. I wasn’t an easy customer, but he never let me feel that. She answered very fast to all my questions and helped me with everything so that we have the most of our trip. Thank you very much for organizing our dream Safari. I can only recommend it.

Very Responsive and Patient w/ Our Needs!
Anja has been great in making our travel reservations! She is very quick and responsive (at all hours, I'm not sure when she sleeps)! We went back and forth on 39 emails. Yes, 39 emails for a couple of weeks. She made several different itineraries in ranging prices, types of accommodations, and locations. She was patient through the whole process and provided so much information. We finally decided on our perfect trip!

Aquilia Safari trip
Re: Safari from Cape Town to Aquilia. Fadiel was very helpful and organised our trip for us. We were picked up by Joe, who was our driver for the day. Joe is born and raised in Cape Town. He was prompt and was very friendly and informative. There was a good choice of food at Aquilia and had choices for my husband too who is Coeliac.
