    About Sussi and Chuma

    • Close Panel 

    Sussi and Chuma is named after David Livingstone's companions and is made up of a gorgeous rustic luxury lodge (Sussi) and two exclusive-use houses (Chuma) set on the dramatic Upper Zambezi River, near Livingstone.

    Sussi Lodge consists of 12 luxury tree houses built into the tree lined bank of the Zambezi, all with private viewing decks among the branches.  All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with shower and bath, air conditioning, overhead fans, mosquito nets, mini bar and hairdryer.

    The central lodge has a raised bar and lounge decking area and an open air dining space.  There is a river-edge swimming pool, Africology spa and curio shop.

    Chuma consists of two self-contained houses, each having 2 en-suite bedrooms (one double, one twin so ideal for families) and a living area with their own kitchen and private chef.  Each house has it's own private guide and vehicle for activities.  There is also a spacious lounge and dining room area plus outdoor deck and barbeque area with private plunge pool.

    The 'wet' season here is normally December to March with the main thick spray on the falls shortly after during April - May.  The 'dry' season runs from May to November with June to August being coolest.  October - December the rock formations at the falls are really interesting as the water slows down.

    Activities here include game viewing in Mosi-oa-Tunya park where you can see elephants, giraffe, buffalo and rhino amongst other species.  Sunset and morning boat cruises, fishing, guided visits to Victoria Falls and other local attractions.

    Pricing guidelines for Zambia

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
