Chinzombo — Luangwa Valley, Zambia

It's all about responsible tourism at Norman Carr Safaris' newly reinvigorated Chinzombo camp in Zambia's Luangwa Valley. Comprising six villas, all with private plunge pools and Wi-Fi, this high-end eco bush accommodation offers its guests private access to the South Luangwa National Park. A Minimalist approach by award-winning South African architects Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, teams sleek steel frame structures with sustainable natural materials including raw linen, reed work and timber - all in a palette of cooling neutrals, creating a luxurious yet understated look that lets the surrounding landscape do the talking. Feast on characterful dishes such as Cajun spiced tilapia with pineapple salsa and coconut rice before unwinding with a spa treatment or yoga session, then sit back, relax and watch Africa's impressive wildlife wander through the camp.
