Norman Carr was one of the pioneers of walking safaris in South Luangwa National Park. In the 1950s, he began leading visitors through the Zambian bush and became widely regarded as the father of walking safaris. He devoted more than 50 years to conservation and national parks in the region. Kapani Lodge was built in 1986, and Carr lived there until his death in 1997.

Safari lodge in Zambia – comfort and adventure

Chinzombo is one of Norman Carr Safaris’ most luxurious camps in the South Luangwa region. Set on a private site by the Luangwa River, about an hour by road from Mfuwe, the lodge combines modern forms with materials that refer to traditional Zambian building. The camp offers contemporary facilities in a restrained, minimalist style, with the lounge and dining areas at its heart.

Chinzombo Safari Lodge in Zambia consists of six luxury villas connected to the main areas by a path. Each villa is suited to families or small groups and includes a spacious living area, bedroom, bathroom, and relaxation zone. The shaded canvas areas can be adjusted manually for comfort.

Private plunge pool

The facilities are modern and luxurious. The materials offer a refreshing change from the usual wood-and-thatch look. Each villa has a private terrace with a small pool and a view of the Luangwa River. Norman Carr Safaris offers a range of activities here, and the camp’s access to a game-rich part of South Luangwa National Park makes it a strong base for walking safaris and wildlife viewing.
