This has to be one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. The location of the camp is such that you would hardly notice it if you were driving by, it fits that well into the area. From the greetings we received on arrival, the pre-dawn breakfast, the beautiful setting and room with an open shower, it was amazing... more

I was traveling with a woman friend in Zambia and South Africa. Our travel agent, booked 4 nights in Nkwali...this was the highlight of our trip. The view of the river was amazing, the fact that we had an elephant stick his head over the top of our shower and then walked around to the front of our rooms, the... more

Nkwali Camp is lovely, clean and safe. The staff are attentive, relaxed, helpful and flexible. The food was healthy and delicious. The overall atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. It feels luxurious, but if you are looking for snobbishly elite don't come here - if you just want to enjoy Africa in a beautiful setting with nice people this is a... more

We just spent a wonderful Emerald Season week with Robin Pope Safaris. Stayed 5 nights at Nkwali and 2 at Nsefu and enjoyed them both. Food was the best we have had at any safari camps in Africa (we have visited 23). Staff and guides were just awesome. Great wild dog sightings, lots of birds, incredible elephant and hippos. We... more

We love Africa, and we go on safari often. The Robin Pope Camps are the only camps we have ever returned to, and this year, for a family visit - my husband and I, our son and his wife. It could not have been more perfect. We were quartered in Robin's house, lovely for two couples, with two very large... more

We loved Nkwali Camp! We were so fortunate to have the incomparable guide, Rocky, for our entire stay. His enthusiasm and sense of wonder were totally contagious. The highlights of our stay were (1) a local theater troup which performed for all of us at the special request of a family interested in theater. It was absolutely charming and delightful.... more

Just got back from our Honeymoon. We spent the first five days in Nkwali and could not recommend the place highly enough. This was our first experience of safari. From talking to other guests, it seems that we struck gold immediately... The situation on an arc of the Luangwa river is stunning. Woken by birds and hippos every morning. Porridge... more

We travelled to Nkwali for 4 days with another couple and had an ideal few days - we saw all manor of game although not a leopard (next time maybe) and were offered variety every day in our viewing including walking which was a new and most exciting experience as we stumbled on some lions - got the heart racing.... more

I have just returned from a visit to Robin Pope Safaris in the South Luangwa National Park of Zambia. What a fantastic and memorable experience staying in the Nkwali, Nsefu and Tena Tena camps as well as undertaking the mobile camp and walking safari. The accommodation throughout was exceptionally good albeit there were no on-suite facilities on the mobile camp!... more

We went to Nkwali as the 1st part of our Honeymoon in Africa and loved it there. Each camp we went to had a different feel to it. Nkwali was great as the 1st part of our trip. The service was great, everyone was so friendly and we were made to feel so welcome. The accomadation here is rustic, but... more
