Welcome to the pride of Zambia in the South Luangwa National Park. Perched at the top of Chichele Hill, the lodge offers 360-degree views of dense forests, endless savanna, rivers and floodplains, all ringed by the distant hills of the Great Rift Valley. Originally built in 1972 as a retreat for the Zambian President, Dr Kenneth Kaunda, the lodge has been reconstructed to provide guests with an understated yet elegant relaxing space.
