Is the Chikunto Safaris for Me?

Chikunto Safari Lodge is a boutique lodge located on an amazing site within the world-renowned South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. The park is known as the ‘Valley of the Leopard’ and famous for its high density of game and the absence of high-volume game-viewing traffic.

Built with the assistance of local villagers from the rural Mfuwe area, Chikunto Safari Lodge is renowned for its ideal location, quality of its Guiding and superb food.

With 5 spacious luxury Tented Suites (including 1 x Two Bedroomed Family Suites and an amazing Stargazing and sleep platform), it never feels crowded at Chikunto.

The main area incorporates a reception, dining area, bar, and lounge under a thatch roof – overlooking a waterhole and the meandering Luangwa River. There is a fabulous salt-water swimming pool, complete with a counter-current system for the more active!

The elevated stargazing and sleepout platform provides amazing views of the setting sun and the opportunity to fall asleep to the sounds of the bush, looking up at the stars.
