Chikunto Safaris

Set on an exposed sandbank on the edge of the Luangwa River, Chikunto Safari Lodge is one of the prettier-positioned places in the South Luangwa National Park. Not that good views are in short supply around here. With its tapestry of rolling plains and plateaus, the wide meandering river, miombo woodlands and riverine forests, the vegetation supports a thriving assortment of wildlife. And that makes the park one of the best all-around safari destinations in Africa. This eco-friendly camp has taken pains to blur the lines between itself and the environment, while keeping things simple and classy.
