Excellent visit. Management, catering, housekeeping were ever smiling and ever attentive. Little surprises added to enjoyment. (not disclosing what they were or they will not be surprises for future visitors). Guides Ernest and John were outstanding and I add thanks to night drive spotters. Extra drives came at a very reasonable cost compared to other places I have visited. Walking... More

After visiting Sussi and Chuma lodge before going to Chichele I would say that, Chichele needed an update on the rooms, we stayed in No. 7 room and it needed some work done on it to make it more appealing. Alick our guide was fantastic he found all the animals we wanted to see, and more. He was polite and... More

Best lodge I have been to in a while! The kind of place that makes you feel extra special with their attention to detail! One of my top getaway destinations. Great to see a lodge in Zambia run by an all Zambian team!

A well deserved break away from the hustle and bustle of Lusaka town. Took advantage of their special on during the off peak period. Last time I had been to this lodge was when it belong to National Hotels and was the private retreat for the then President of Zambia, affectionately known as KK. I now know why he was... More

Fabulous location in the park, remote and beautiful. Incredibly comfortable lodge, amazing views and with wonderful staff who make you feel special every moment of your stay. I will never forget the candlelit dinner table for two outside, with the distant roar of lions in the background and the starry sky overhead. The food is fantastic, the safari guides are... More

This is the third visit in three years to this unique Lodge in one of the best Game Parks in Africa. As lifelong residents in Kenya where some famous and exceptional Game Parks and Game Lodges are located, South Luangwa and both Chichele Presidential and the nearby Puku Ridge Lodges can rank with our best in Kenya. Chichele, built for... More

We spent 4 nights here as a start to our anniversary trip. We can't say enough great things about the place. The setting is beautiful - high on a hill that overlooks a watering hole where elephants are seen every day. The impala, hyena (at night) and baboons frolic on the lawn and the sunsets and sunrises are stunning. The... More

One of the most welcoming hotel that I have ever stayed at. The service is excellent, as is the staff, who are exceedingly helpful. From the moment of walking into the lodge it seemed that we were personal guests of the management. The safari guides are excellent and would when asked to stop and take photo's, nothing seemed too much... More

We stayed here on the second leg of our Honeymoon in Zambia. It proved the perfect end to our all too brief holiday. I would not have wanted to venture onwards to any other lodge after Chichele - it could only have disappointed. The Lodge has a wonderfully informal yet highly attentive feel to it from the moment you arrive.... More
