Chichele Presidential Lodge

Picture


Country:  Zambia

Location: South Luangwa National Park
 
Style: Luxury Lodge

This historic hilltop lodge with just 10 suites is found in Zambia's vast South Luangwa National Park.  

Home to an exceptionally high concentration of hippos, as well as lions, leopards and elephants, South Luangwa is noted for its walking safaris.   The park also hosts many herds of the endemic Thornicroft giraffe which can always be found in the prolific Mopane woodland on the valley floor.

Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge was originally built for Kenneth Kaunda, the former Zambian president, in the 1970s and the original colonial style has been retained in the furnishings.

Each of the 10 elegant suites is decorated in colonial style featuring four-poster beds, air conditioning, and private veranda and with a fully appointed en-suite bathroom.   Large French windows offer a light, airy feel to the suites, opening onto private terraces -the ideal vantage point to relax and enjoy the wildlife.

A long veranda stretches outside the dining room, from which guests are afforded views down the valley to the Luangwa itself.   When possible, dinner is served outside.   On cooler nights, blazing fires take the chill out of the air.   The roar of lions or the saw of leopards can often be heard from the wooded valleys that surround the lodge.

Game drives, especially at night, offer privileged viewing as many nocturnal animals like leopard, hyena and bush babies are seldom seen during the day.   Plains game such as antelope and zebra are unafraid of the lights therefore close encounters are guaranteed.

The area is well suited to walking safaris which are conducted by a professional guide and an armed parks scout.   These walks offer fascinating detail often unnoticed when viewing game from a vehicle.

It is recommended that muted coloured clothing be worn on these occasions.

Access to Chichele Presidential Lodge is by scheduled flights followed by road transfers with game viewing potential.
