In today’s fast-paced world, travel offers a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and engage meaningfully with the world around us.
At Time + Tide, we believe in purposeful travel – where each journey not only brings discovery and adventure but also contributes to the well-being of the communities and environments we explore. This philosophy is at the heart of our operations in Zambia, where we invite our guests to be inspired by their travels, making a positive impact while enjoying unforgettable experiences.
Empowering conservation and education
Central to our ethos is the Time + Tide Foundation, dedicated to empowering conservation and education initiatives across Zambia. Through collaborations with local communities, we facilitate projects that promote environmental stewardship and wildlife preservation. Your journey with us directly contributes to these efforts, ensuring a legacy of sustainability for future generations.
A deeper connection
Immerse yourself in purposeful travel with us. Every adventure is an opportunity to discover not only the wonders of Zambia’s pristine landscapes but also the profound impact of community excursions. At Time + Tide Safaris, we believe in fostering meaningful connections. Our excursions extend beyond wildlife sightings; they embrace cultural immersion and community engagement.
Highlights of a Foundation excursion in the Lower Zambezi:
Home-Based Education
Through the Home-Based Education Programme, we help children with special needs gain independence and enrol in formal schools. Your excursion begins with a visit to a beneficiary family, where you’ll learn about the challenges they faced due to community stigmas and lack of knowledge. Thanks to trained volunteer caregivers, these children have made significant developmental strides, greatly improving their family’s quality of life.
Female Empowerment Programme
Next, we will visit Mugurameno Primary School to meet the girls in our Female Empowerment Programme. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 50:1, the school split pupils into morning and afternoon sessions to reduce class sizes, giving students less time in school. For girls at risk of failing, we designed an extracurricular programme to provide academic support, with a focus on English language and literacy, and to build their self-esteem. You’ll meet the girls at a local education centre and observe teaching techniques that help them improve academically and express themselves.
Mugurameno Farming Project
On your way back, you’ll visit farmers and their vegetable gardens along the Zambezi River. In 2019, the Time + Tide Foundation and Time + Tide Chongwe provided new seeds to help farmers expand their produce for the tourism industry. You’ll see where the fresh produce enjoyed in camp originates and learn how farmers manage the challenges of seasonal markets and wildlife!
Sustainable luxury – join us on a journey of purpose
Our commitment to sustainable practices extends to every aspect of your stay, from eco-friendly accommodations to responsible wildlife experiences. Embrace the present moment knowing that your journey not only enriches your soul but also preserves the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Zambia for years to come.
Step into a world where travel is more than just sightseeing – it’s a transformative experience that leaves a positive footprint. With Time + Tide Safaris, every adventure is an invitation to embrace the present and preserve the future. Together, let’s journey towards a sustainable tomorrow.

"The uniqueness of being in a camp with only four safari tents is the ultimate feeling of luxury. Luwi overlooks a wide open grassland that on my first morning we watched a high speed chase - a pack of Wilddogs on a hunt. It was exhilarating to watch and sent our heart rates through the sky adding a lot of chatter and laughter once the pack had passed by."

"The authenticity and remoteness of the seasonal camps will be a special experience that I will long to return to. There really is no place on earth that you can really escape like you can at the seasonal camps. Falling asleep at Kakuli to the distant lion roars and waking to the call of the fish eagle - really what a magical walking safari!"
Lara, Guest Time + Tide Kakuli
This is the most magical place you're ever likely to experience. Nestled under a grove of imposing Albida trees, it is clearly favoured by the many elephant who graze on the Albida pods. Their presence adds an incredibly special energy to the camp.

The lodge is stunning and all the staff are utterly wonderful. The views from the lodge are outstanding, lovely Liuwa wilderness.
My bedroom was incredibly comfortable, very stylish, hitting a difficult combination of minimalist yet luxury. Incredibly comfortable bed and many relaxing areas to rest.

Our family had the most joyful time at Chongwe, really everything was perfect and every detail taken care of. The team ensured we had the best time at every activity (even tiger fishing!). We felt privileged to spend a few days here and look forward to returning.

"Thank you for embracing the unique culture of Barotseland through storytelling, song, dance, drums and the marimba - this is a jewel in the necklace of the African Parks managed conservation areas we are visiting across Africa - much appreciated."

Chinzombo is a stunning lodge in a beautiful location of the South Luangwa. The rooms are luxurious and spacious, with a deck and plunge pool overlooking the Luangwa River. There is always an abundance of wildlife around the rooms, we had a banded mongoose, bushbuck, elephants and hippo's - just to name a few.
