Chichele Presidential Lodge
Tucked within South Luangwa National Park, Chichele Presidential Lodge – originally constructed in the 1970s as a private retreat for Zambia’s first president – has been transformed into a luxurious sanctuary. Now part of our exclusive Collective, the lodge combines its rich heritage with contemporary design, offering an unparalleled safari experience in the heart of the African wild.
A true tribute to Zambia’s culture and wildlife, the Chichele Presidental’s color palette takes inspiration from the Chewa word for ‘salt,’ with striking ebony and ivory tones, charred timber, and subtle copper accents. The lodge also features a modern gym, an inviting infinity pool, and a lavish wellness spa. Indulge in a variety of activities, including remarkable game drives, immersive walking safaris, and restorative yoga sessions on the shared deck.
Chichele Presidential offers ten private suites, each with panoramic views of the surrounds. Each features a private plunge pool, an outdoor shower, and impeccable amenities, making it an ideal destination for families, groups, or solo travelers.
The lodge merges the property’s fascinating past with modern, sustainable features, offering an extraordinary Zambian safari.
