Surrender yourself to absolute bush luxury when staying at the Chichele Presidential Lodge in Zambia. Set in a mosaic of different habitats that make up the spectacular South Luangwa National Park and surrounded by primeval forests and lush savannah plus the enormous variety of animals that call this region home, you will revel in the luxury safari vacation that this classic lodge will offer you.
Enter the luxury camp through a majestic entrance leading into a colonial style stone and thatch central lodge. The luxury lodge is set on what was once the personal bush retreat of Zambian President, Kenneth Kaunda on top of a hill offering fantastic views and premier game viewing opportunities. Restored to Victorian style colonial glory the ten luxury suites are sited along the edge of the hillside so that you can enjoy private panoramic views over the valley and wildlife in it.
Dine on the long veranda that stretches from the classically appointed dining room, swim in the sparkling pool that offers respite from the African sun and generally relax between the game drives or game walks that will allow you to spot what is arguably the highest concentration of hippos in the world, as well as lions, leopards and elephants.
