Time + Tide Mchenja, South Luangwa National Park

A high standard safari lodge is provided by Time + Tide Mchenja

Time + Tide Mchenja is an intimate, luxurious safari lodge located in South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia. It lies directly on the Luangwa River, shaded by ancient eben trees, from which it takes its name. This place is valued for its exceptionally wild atmosphere, proximity to animals, and high standards while maintaining the camp's natural character.

The lodge is open seasonally, typically from mid-May to mid-November. This period coincides with the dry season, when the river levels recede and animals gather around its banks, providing excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Outside of this season, the camp is closed due to the rainy season.

Time + Tide Mchenja is small and very intimate. It offers five high-standard tented rooms. Four of these are designed for couples, and one is a larger family tent with two bedrooms. Each room has a private bathroom, often partially open-air, and a terrace overlooking the river, allowing you to observe the animals without even leaving the tent.
