Chinzombo sits on the banks of the Luangwa River, a Norman Carr Safaris property continuing the legacy of Norman Carr, the guide widely credited with pioneering the African walking safari in this very valley in the 1950s.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Spacious villas set along the riverbank, each with a private plunge pool and expansive views over the Luangwa River.
Food & Service
A refined dining programme served riverside, drawing on both Zambian ingredients and Norman Carr Safaris’ long culinary tradition.
Activities
Walking safaris led by professionally licensed guides, traditional game drives, and river activities along the Luangwa.
Wildlife & Photography
South Luangwa’s leopard density is among the highest in Africa, and the valley’s walking safari tradition offers an unusually close, ground-level relationship with its wildlife.
A Photographer's Note
Walking safaris here, done at a careful, guide-led pace, allow for genuinely different framing of tracks, smaller wildlife and vegetation than any vehicle-based drive.
Conservation & Impact
Norman Carr Safaris’ long-standing conservation ethos, rooted in Carr’s own pioneering work, continues to support South Luangwa’s ranger and community programmes.
