This is a pretty good hotel. I’ve been to a few Marriott hotels, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The staff here are super nice, and even take the time to remember your name.

Read moreMy first stay was unplanned, I was feeling ill in South Luangwa and we decided to stay at Protea Chipata while I rest and recover. The hospitality and care from the entire team was just wonderful. |They even catered gluten free meals (I have celiac disease) and showed such great concern, it left a lasting impression.||Our next visit, we received the most warmest welcome back. So many team members came up to greet us and welcome us back. It’s just so special.
