History
Time + Tide Luwi is a small seasonal bush camp set on the sandy banks of the Luwi River in the Nsefu sector of South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. The site traces its lineage to legendary conservationist Norman Carr, who from 1950 pioneered the walking safari and community-based conservation tourism in the Luangwa Valley and originally sited a chain of bush camps, including Luwi, Nsolo, Kakuli and Mchenja, that guests still walk between.
After decades under Norman Carr Safaris, backed from 2006 by investor Thierry Dalais's family, the camps were consolidated under the Time + Tide brand around 2019. Rebuilt each season in classic light-footprint style, the intimate camp (roughly four tents) continues Carr's walking-safari tradition, with some guides having trained with Norman himself.

The address sits in Mpika District, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.
