Get up close and personal with the wildlife along Zambia’s mighty rivers. Time + Tide is connected through the rivers of Zambia, journey with us to both of our regions, the South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi. An unspoiled wilderness, the South Luangwa National Park is known as the Valley of the Leopard and the home to the walking safari. With endemic giraffe and wildebeest, and endangered wild dogs, the game viewing here is second to none. The landscape of the Lower Zambezi National Park is entirely different, its lush channels and ancient forests are a haven for elephants, predators and birdlife. It offers the greatest variety of activities in Zambia, from game drives to canoeing, boat cruises, walking safaris and tiger fishing. Explore both parks with award-winning guides on our most popular itinerary in Zambia.

Day 4 - 5

Arriving at Mfuwe airport you will get a glimpse of the local village life en route to the South Luangwa National Park. With seasonal camps located deep in the heart of leopard country in a land of winding rivers and shady forests, you will find the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Your guide will welcome you to Time + Tide Kakuli, which has five bright and airy safari rooms designed to make the most of the panoramic setting, each with indoor and outdoor showers, and a covered open-air seating area with a swing to enjoy the views.

The elevated main lounge overlooks the river and a permanent lagoon. Beneath it, a wildlife hide offers up-close views of visitors stopping by for a drink. Take a deep breath and admire the sweeping vista with a refreshing drink of your own. Time + Tide Kakuli is a great base for exploring the area, which is renowned for leopard and lion sightings.

Time + Tide Luwi Seasonal Camps in Zambia

Time + Tide Luwi, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

Day 6 - 7

Situated deep in the South Luangwa National Park on the ephemeral Luwi River, Time + Tide Luwi is wonderfully remote, with no other camps around for miles. Tranquility envelops this camp, creating a wilderness haven that allows guests to reconnect with nature in a meaningful way. Nestled in a grove of ancient mahogany trees, the four safari tents are designed to fully immerse guests into the bush experience. From the comfort of the open-air lounge, watch the diverse wildlife wandering by on the grassy floodplains. Listen to the hippos bellowing in the nearby lagoon and breathe in the aroma of African grasses drifting past on a cool breeze.

Home to the original walking safari, Luwi is the perfect destination for adventurous travellers. The Luwi surroundings are famous for lions and wild dogs. The thrill of tracking them on a walking safari is an experience not to be missed. Next to camp, a permanent oxbow lagoon attracts wildlife from far and wide, especially during the dry winter months. A wildlife hide overlooks the resident hippos and offers superb sightings of the lagoon’s many visitors.

Journeys

Stop. Listen.
Look closer.

We are guides and guardians to some of the most beautiful places on Earth, with a collection of luxury properties in Zambia and Madagascar. Our safari camps are linked by the lifeblood of the land; the rivers. Our story begins in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, where beautiful tributaries feed into the Luangwa River as it bends toward the mighty Zambezi. The river flows through the Lower Zambezi National Park, joined by the gentle waters of the Chongwe River. Once the Zambezi has run its course, it spills into the Indian Ocean where it’s carried by the currents across the seas. It finds itself on the shores of Nosy Komba off the northwest coast of Madagascar and ends somewhere between a fairytale and a dream on our private island sanctuary, Miavana by Time + Tide.
