Chikunto Safaris

With a total of 5 Luxury Tented Suites, including one spacious Family Suite and a Honeymoon Suite, Chikunto Safari Lodge can accommodate up to a maximum of 12 people, ensuring that you always have a feeling of both space and intimacy.
Each secluded Suite is built on a raised decking, providing panoramic views out over the iconic Luangwa River. Each one is appointed with King or Twin beds, mosquito net, internal seating area, wardrobe, full en-suite facilities (superb water pressure in the showers!) plus fantastic little touches like the ‘hidden’ multi-point Charger for those essential gadgets. All our Suites have their own private, fully furnished covered outdoor seating areas.

The spacious main lodge area, with its eclectic African / European style furniture has magnificent, framed photographs from the famed photographer, Patrick Bentley, and provides an ideal space in which to sit down, read a book and take in the stunning sights and sounds of the ever-present Luangwa River. An ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in the ‘feel’ of Africa.

The cosy Bar is also located in the thatched main lodge area and is well-stocked with a wide range of local and premium brand drinks – if you have a particular preference, let us know when Booking, and we will do our best to accommodate!

Have you ever swum in a counter-current saltwater swimming pool? If so, have you ever done so with the backdrop of passing Elephants, Puku, the occasional Lion and near ever-present Hippopotamus?! Pack your costumes.

‘The food was the best we had in over 25 Lodges in Southern Africa’. So says a previous guest on Trip Advisor. The outdoor decking with the central fire-pit provides an ideal location in which to enjoy the same. Take a few moments to look up at the stars, amazing in the clear African skies, and then close your eyes and listen to the Sounds of Africa…
