I have visited Robin Pope Safari Camps on two occasions, bith for extended stays. I have also stayed at two other camps in Africa, both in the Luanga and Livingston area. I would recommend the Pope-run operations for anyone who wants a full-bore African experience. They have it all at Nikwali (and other sites), animals, game drives, food, service and... more

Spent one month in all parts of Africa last Sept./Oct. Our walking safari with Robin Poe was definitely the highlight of our trip. Robin is knowledgable and consumate professional who promotes and supports Zambia in a most positive way. He his wife Jo and all of his staff are the best. more

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

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

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
