Chikunto Safari Lodge

Chikunto Safari Lodge, set on the meandering banks of the Luangwa River, combines the authenticity of traditional camps in the Valley with discreet luxury.  

The lodge overlooks the bustling Luangwa River where it strikingly curves around on itself, on a site known as the Big Bend. This location ensures exceptional wildlife encounters right from the main lodge, where its well-stocked bar, cosy lounge and saltwater counter-current swimming pool, ensure you can enjoy the views in the utmost comfort. 

Families can stay in the spacious Two-Bedroom family tented suite, where its elevated position, panoramic views and cosy lounge offer the perfect spot for families to unwind. For an unforgettable night under the stars, guests can enjoy an alfresco dinner and sleep-out experience on the camp’s elevated sleep-out platform.  

Days are filled with expertly guided activities tailored to suit all ages. Walking safaris bring the landscape to life, teaching children and parents alike about the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Morning and night game drives reveal South Luangwa’s famed predators, while seasonal boat safaris offer a tranquil exploration of the river, spotting dense populations of hippo and elephants. 

Chikunto Safari Lodge offers the adventurous safaris South Luangwa is known for whilst delivering the amenities and service of a high end lodge.
