The Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge was
originally built for Kenneth Kaunda, the first Zambian
president, and has maintained original colonial style
furnishings. A long veranda stretches outside the
dining room, from which guests are afforded views
down the valley to the Luangwa itself. When possi-
ble, dinner is served outside. On cooler nights, roar-
ing fires take the chill out of the air. The grunt of lions
or the saw of leopards can often be heard from the
wooded valleys that surround the lodge. Each of the
ten luxurious suites at Sanctuary Chichele comes
complete with a four-poster bed, air conditioning,
full bathroom and every other amenity desired by
guests - all amidst the African bush. In keeping with
the rest of Chichele, the suites are also decorated in
an understated colonial style. French windows open
onto private terraces, from which, getting up early to
watch the sun rise over the Luangwa Valley provides
guests with a spectacular once in a lifetime experi-
ence.
