Zambia Luxury Lodge Collection

A privileged point of view. In the heat of the day, the pool at Chichele Presidential is the ideal spot to cool off and watch the living tapestry of the Zambian wilderness unfold before your eyes.

The Zambezi River is the heartbeat of Lolebezi. By day, birds and wildlife are drawn to its banks, and at night, the hippos and crocodiles emerge from its depths. Nyami Nyami is the River God of the Zambezi, according to folklore. Ask your guide to tell you the fascinating story of Nyami Nyami, the serpent with the head of a fish who protects the river and the people who rely on it for sustenance.

Puku are highly dependent on water and are almost always found within a few kilometres of it, particularly near rivers like the Lunga River that runs through Lolelung Private Reserve. Their habitat often overlaps with that of the related Red Lechwe, another water-dependent antelope, which Lolelunga are busy restocking.

It's a wonderful reminder that a safari offers a spectacle at every scale, sometime its the delicate wings of a butterfly that captures your attention. Game drives in the South Luangwa never seem to disappoint.

When the sun sets at Lolebezi, the night lights illuminate your surroundings. A warm glow in a cosy lounge, flickering lanterns on the deck or the orange crackle of dancing flames at the boma. Which space would you choose to enjoy a dark Zambian night?

On a Zambian safari, the animal antics deliver natural comedy.

Forget the great pineapple debate and have fun creating your own wood-fired pizza at Lolelunga Private Game Reserve, where delicious food and a relaxed vibe are always on the menu.
