Overview of Chichele Presidential

Zambia, South Luangwa National Park

South Luangwa National Park, established as the ‘birthplace of the walking safari' in the late sixties by world-famous conservationist Norman Carr. The region has a long history of safeguarding Zambia's wildlife across diverse ecosystems that have allowed its wilderness to remain largely untouched. South Luangwa is one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world. It features intense concentrations of animals—from elephants congregating at watering holes and rivers to large prides of lions basking in the sunlight along the grassy plains. 

Chichele Presidential was once the holiday home of Zambia's founding President, Dr Kenneth Kaunda, and now offers a luxury safari camp for travellers—both local and international—to enjoy its personalised services and world-class facilities. Whether you’re enjoying poolside drinks on your private deck with your partner or sundowners in a clearing, every aspect of your stay exudes pedigreed excellence.

Tailored itineraries feature your choice of morning bush walks and evening game drives at optimal wildlife viewing times, with plenty of time in between to enjoy the camp's luxury amenities. This accommodation is ideal for the discerning traveller seeking opulence and a sanctuary of solitude, alongside an authentic African safari.

Safari Lounge

The Safari Lounge features two connected Vista Suites brought together by a spacious lounge and dining area for a private family retreat or group holiday. The added luxury of a kitchen, complete with a bar and coffee station, adds an element of intimacy where you can enjoy drinks and snacks on your deck.

General Facilities

While unwinding in the blissful surroundings of your private retreat, move between the infinity pool and the viewing deck with a fruity cocktail in hand. A well-equipped gym provides a great space to exercise, while a yoga deck offers the perfect setting for an invigorating sunrise stretch—followed by a soothing massage at the spa to release any muscle tension.

An elegant bar area is the ultimate spot for cigars and a nightcap. A relaxed afternoon calls for visits to the photography hide to capture iconic shots of undisturbed wildlife. For families, a kiddies club offers fun activities for the little ones.

Wi-Fi is available to help you stay connected, and laundry services will keep your clothing fresh each day.

Expert Opinion

We know because we go

Africa Safari Expert

Chichele Presidential is where classic safari charm meets serious Zambian heritage. Originally built for the country's first president, it still carries a stately calm that's hard to find elsewhere. What makes it special isn't just the wildlife (which is exceptional), but the sense that you're stepping into a piece of history—with gin and tonics at sunset and lions not far off in the grass.
