Time + Tide Nsolo

One of the most historical camps in Zambia, Time + Tide Nsolo is the quintessential barefoot luxury experience. With a design inspired by its intimate riverside setting, it is a haven of comfort amid the wild setting. Lounge on your shady private deck, watching the daily parade of wildlife visiting the permanent river lagoon. Between game drives, relax into the cosy ambiance of the camp, listening to the resident hippo pod and watching kingfishers hover and dip delicately over the water’s surface. There is no thrill like hearing the lions calling all night, then heading out at first light to track them through the bush. Come, join us in this wild land and awaken your inner explorer.

This is one of the South Luangwa’s more remote, luxury safari camps with many wonderful walking areas in the vicinity. There is also the opportunity to participate in game drives for those wishing to combine walking and driving. The Luwi river system is renowned for its lion population. Various pride territories overlap in this area and the cats use the dry riverbed as a thoroughfare and a means not only of locating their prey, which come to drink, but also of locating their rivals who must be warned away.
