Accommodations at the camp consist of six original brick and mortar rondavels for a maximum of twelve guests. Each room still possess its historic understated elegance while upgrading the rooms to include a spacious en suite bathroom with a shower. The rooms face the Luangwa River which can be viewed from the comfort of the bed. In addition, each room enjoys a shaded veranda for relaxing and taking in the beauties of the surrounding area.
The camp is located on the banks of the Luangwa River on Robin Pope Safaris’ private land outside South Luangwa National Park, a world-famous wildlife haven. The 5,623-square mile park enjoys a dense animal population including impalas, pukus, waterbucks, giraffes, and buffaloes grazing on the plains. A high number of leopards stalk the dense woodlands, while herds of elephant wade through the marshes and hippos play in the Luangwa River. The Muchinga Escarpment forms the park’s western and northwestern boundaries, sloping steeply down to the river from the west side. The river valley, continued to the west by the Lunsemfwa River valley, forms a natural barrier, and to this day there are no man-made roads spanning the valley.
There are both day and night game drives available in comfortable Toyota Land cruisers and conducted by an expert guide. Walking safaris study the park in greater detail and observe the smaller animals with the aid of a guide and an armed National Park Ranger. Bird watchers can enjoy spotting some of the 400 recorded bird species in the region. From the end of December to April, seasonal boat trips explore the rain-filled lagoons. For those seeking more local culture, there is a unforgettable tour of Kawaza Village. The Wildlife Education Center is a great place to visit, especially for children who can learn how the local kids are taught about wildlife and conservation.
The original camp was built in 1951 in the exclusive Nsefu Sector before South Luangwa was even declared a national park. The property was purchased by Robin Pope Safaris in 1998 and renovated with modern comforts. In the central area of camp, the bar and lounge sit between a large termite mound and a scenic lagoon which is also a popular watering hole for the local wildlife. The dining room also provides amazing views of the river and animals population so that a delicious meal can be enjoyed while also watching a herd of elephant march past.
