Norman Carr Safaris, the
classic safari company whose founder, renowned conservationist Norman Carr,
pioneered the walking safari, has announced that it will open an ultra luxury camp
on the banks of the Luangwa River, just upstream from their headquarters,
Kapani Lodge. “This is something completely new for the Luangwa Valley,” said
Christina Carr, marketing director. “It
will be super luxurious with spacious living areas that melt into the
surroundings of the exquisite, tranquil site.” Rates begin at $575 per person
per night for a twin or double.
The new camp is built on the
site of Norman Carr’s green season base back in the 60’s and 70’s and has
retained its original name – Chinzombo. Christina Carr commented “The Carr
family, partners and staff are thrilled to be giving this historic and
beautiful place a new lease on life.”
Architects of Chinzombo are
Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, whose signature style is elegant, subtle
low-impact, eco-design, using local craftsmen (among their other projects are
the celebrated North Island Resort in the Seychelles and Vumbura Plains Camp in
Botswana). Construction is progressing well; and, completion is expected in
early 2013, with the official opening planned for March 2013.
The new venue will comprise six villas, one of which will be configured as a suite for families and small groups. All suites will have private pools, cooled sleeping areas, massive bathrooms with luxurious spa amenities and internet connections. Ancient shade trees abound here; wildlife wanders through the camp; and the animal and bird life of the river can be viewed from the villas.

Guests of Chinzombo will have
private river access to the South Luangwa National Park, one of the finest
wildlife sanctuaries in Africa. The Luangwa Valley is an offshoot of the Great
Rift Valley, and covers an area of more than two million acres, through which
the meandering Luangwa River flows. The oxbow lagoons, woodlands and plains of
the valley host huge concentrations of game – including elephant, buffalo,
leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo – and more than 400 species of birds. Norman Carr
Safaris allows guests to fully appreciate this pristine wild with one of the best
guiding teams in Africa that lead safaris known for exclusive and exciting safari
adventures. Game drives, night drives
and walking safaris will all be available in one of the last great wildernesses
on earth.
