Four distinctive Zambian safari properties have united under the owner-led Zambia Luxury Lodge Collection. The brand brings together Chichester Presidential, Puku Ridge, Lolebezi and Lolelunga Private Reserve. The collection aims to strengthen Zambia’s position in the luxury safari market by offering travellers a coordinated portfolio of high-end wilderness experiences. The move creates a single vision for marketing and guest journeys across the properties.
Chichester Presidential Lodge is located in South Luangwa National Park, perched atop a prominent hill. This historic property was originally built in the late 1960s as a private retreat for Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda. It features 360-degree panoramic views over the valley and sweeping, arched windows framing the wilderness. Puku Ridge in South Luangwa National Park offers an award-winning safari camp with an intimate boutique luxury experience, seamlessly blending sleek design and elevated comfort with the surrounding natural elements, providing top-tier access for spotting local leopards and big game.
Lolebezi Safari Lodge is situated in Lower Zambezi National Park inside a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This contemporary eco-lodge boasts over one kilometre of private frontage along the Zambezi River. Guests stay in luxury suites equipped with private plunge pools while watching elephants and hippos wander along the riverbanks. Lolelunga Private Reserve spans 30,000 hectares north of Kafue National Park along the Lunga River. This is the collection’s hallmark conservation and rewilding project, focusing heavily on habitat restoration and successfully reintroducing apex predators like lions and cheetahs back into the ecosystem.
Zambia Luxury Lodge Collection shared in a written statement: “The move creates a single vision for marketing and guest journeys across the properties.”
