Where to Stay

Robin’s House

from $455 per person per night for 2026/27

A simple safari house with lots of history, perfect for families

This house was originally the family accommodation for Robin and Jo Pope — the owners and founders of Robin Pope Safaris. It sits on private land in the game management area so the accommodation is secluded and private, perfect for families or two couples travelling together. Compared to the Luangwa Safari House, Robin’s House is simplistic in its design and accommodation but certainly provides everything you need.

Perfect for families or couples looking for a private experience

The house lacks vibrancy or a “wow-factor” in its design

About the location

Robin’s House is in the same location as Nkwali Camp and Luangwa Safari House (both camps operated by Robin Pope Safaris). The game is more reliable inside the park so game drives and activities take part inside the park which is accessible via boat or pontoon. This avoids the busier main gate near Mfuwe.
