History
Time + Tide Mchenja is an intimate seasonal safari camp set in a grove of ebony trees ('mchenja' means ebony) on the banks of the Luangwa River in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. The camp comprises five accommodations - octagonal canvas-and-thatch chalets - with a central lounge built around a fallen ebony tree and a plunge pool overlooking the river.
As a seasonal tented camp it is rebuilt and refurbished each season rather than being a permanent structure, so a single construction or founding year is not documented; it now operates under the Time + Tide brand in a long lineage of South Luangwa walking-safari camps.
The setting
The address sits in Mpika District, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.
