TIME + TIDE CHINZOMBO
Time + Tide Chinzombo offers wild luxury with a clean, contemporary feel rooted in the classic bush camp tradition. Built with natural materials and finished with thoughtful touches, it sits quietly on the banks of the Luangwa River.
Six spacious luxury safari tents, including a two bedroom, two bathroom family tent, rest beneath mature msikizi trees. Each has a private plunge pool and a soaking tub, positioned for wide river views and the constant rhythm of wildlife moving along the water’s edge.
The award winning design blends canvas, timber and reed with leather accents and raw linen. A shaded verandah becomes your front row seat for slow afternoons, while in room spa treatments bring a restorative pause between safari hours.
A winding path leads to the main lodge, where the riverfront sun deck invites long stretches with a book from the open air library. Evenings are unhurried, with dinners served under the stars using produce grown on site. Settle at the bar to browse old books and photographs, or gather around the fire pit high above the riverbank.
Set within one of South Luangwa National Park’s most game rich areas, Chinzombo places exceptional wildlife moments within easy reach. Cross the river by boat with our experienced guides for game drives, walking safaris, and seasonal boat cruises, with the chance to encounter lions, leopards and other predators in their element.

Time + Tide gives you space to slow down and be present. Reconnect with nature, yourself and those you love in some of the world’s most untouched places, and feel fully alive.
Time + Tide was created for those who feel drawn to wild, remote places. We pioneered luxury safari and island experiences with a long standing commitment to responsible tourism, offering the rare luxury of space: time to step back from the constant pace of everyday life and simply be present.
Our collection spans land and sea in pristine locations, shaped by exceptional teams who share these destinations with care, respect and a deep understanding of place. As a family owned business, our culture is the foundation of our brand. Everything we do is guided by four pillars: community, conservation, sustainability and local economies, ensuring our work supports both people and wilderness for the long term.
Our story brings together decades of passion across Zambia and Madagascar. In the 1950s, Norman Carr pioneered walking safaris in Zambia’s South Luangwa Valley. In the 1990s, the Liebenberg family chose to showcase the Chongwe River in the Lower Zambezi Valley. Later, the Peyre and wider Dalais family set out to protect and share northern Madagascar’s extraordinary archipelago through sustainable ecotourism, with Miavana at its heart and, more recently, Tsara Komba in the Nosy Be archipelago.
Time + Tide was built on a dream of safeguarding rare places through thoughtful travel. Each location we work in needs biodiversity protection and stronger, alternative economies that value natural heritage.
We focus on immersive experiences that connect guests to the landscapes and communities around them, while working alongside local partners, NGOs, authorities and conservation organisations to support lasting protection. Still pioneering, still exploring, our story continues.
