One that promises to connect you with the very essence of this remarkable land – a South Luangwa sleep out and stargazing experience.

But beyond the wide variety of day and night game drives and the walking safaris that Zambia and South Luangwa are justifiably famous for, there’s a complementary adventure that can be experienced with Chikunto Safaris, one that promises to connect you with the very essence of this remarkable land – a South Luangwa sleep out and stargazing experience.

As the sun slowly begins its descent over the Luangwa River, bathing the landscape in hues of gold and fiery orange, you embark on an adventure of an entirely different type. Directly linked by a private walkway from your tented suite you are escorted up a series of steps to the top of the elevated platform, where a wide selection of drinks and tasty snacks are tastefully displayed, waiting for you – perhaps try a bottle, or two, of the local Mosi Beer, a glass of chilled wine or the classic Gin & Tonic to toast the setting sun.

As the day’s last light bathes the landscape and the river, you may no longer be able to resist the urge to reach for your camera, or even your phone, to have some photographic evidence of an experience that will be indelibly imprinted in your memories. The air is filled with the sounds of the bush as you clink glasses, take in the scene, and relive your recent safari adventures.
