Indulge, Experience, and Explore Wild Luxury

The walking safari was born in Zambia, and stepping into the bush on foot remains the purest way to meet it. With an expert armed guide leading the way, the wilderness opens at eye level — tracks, birdsong and the small details a vehicle passes by.

Walks are paced gently and shaped around what the bush is doing, from short morning excursions to a full immersion in the wild.

Birding runs through every experience in the collection. Chichele Presidential and Puku Ridge share South Luangwa's range of around 400 species, with Puku Ridge's eye-to-eye hide set right at its waterhole. At Lolebezi, the Zambezi's banks and channels can be birded by boat or vehicle. Lolelunga's Lunga River supports over 340 species, including the African Fish Eagle and Pel's Fishing Owl.

Experience Zambia from the water. Paddle quietly along the Lunga River or the channels of the Lower Zambezi, where wildlife gathers at the water's edge and every bend offers a different perspective on the wilderness.

Some of the best wildlife encounters happen without leaving the lodge.

From the deck at Puku Ridge, the waterhole draws a procession of animals throughout the day, offering an ever-changing safari from the comfort of camp.

Explore Chichele Presidential's rich history, from its origins as a presidential retreat to its thoughtful restoration and enduring place in the country's tourism legacy.

Wherever you're staying, staying active is never far from reach. Chichele Presidential, Lolebezi and Lolelunga each offer an equipped gymnasium, weights, cardio and space to stretch, with the bush or river just beyond the walls. At Puku Ridge, a Gym-in-a-Bag is provided in every retreat, so a workout is always within arm's reach, wherever you are.

Wash off the day under open sky. At Chichele Presidential, Lolebezi and Puku Ridge, each suite has its own outdoor shower with the bush or river in full view.
