Chipata Hotel
A graceful gateway to South Luangwa.
The first night of any Luangwa trip is best spent here. Town comforts, a quiet garden, and an excellent kitchen at the foot of the Muchinga Escarpment — the perfect easing-in before the bush.
Most guests arrive late from Lusaka, eat under the stars, and transfer up to Mfuwe the next morning. We can also arrange day trips into the local communities — markets, music, the kind of unstaged afternoons that quietly become the best part of the trip.
Rooms
24 garden-side rooms, two suites with private terraces, full air-conditioning.
Kitchen
Local produce, a long wine list, dinner served until 10pm even after late arrivals.
Reach
Direct road from Lusaka or short flight to Chipata airport.
The Hotel
A few corners of Chipata.
Stay at Chipata.
A graceful start to the trip. Rooms book quickly in dry season — reach out early.
