Time + Tide Nsolo

Time + Tide Nsolo Camp lies deep in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park – a retreat for travellers who see true luxury in the experience itself. With only a handful of chalets along the Luwi River, wildlife is always close: elephants wandering past, antelopes grazing, and birds hovering over the water. Evenings bring the sound of lions calling in the distance, while mornings invite you to step out on walking safaris or game drives. For anyone seeking a Zambia safari that feels intimate and authentic, Nsolo is a remarkable choice.

Large beds, outdoor showers and private decks make them welcoming sanctuaries between safari adventures. By day, you can watch the riverbed come alive with birds; at night, the sounds of the bush lull you to sleep. On a Zambia journey, these chalets offer just the right mix of simplicity and comfort.
