Zambia’s leading safari company
Lake Malawi’s superior beach getaway

The Luangwa Valley is one of the best places to see leopardRobin Pope Safaris offers the best Zambia safaris - with private walking safaris, exclusive game lodges and some of the finest luxury houses in Africa.

With our new lodge, Pumulani on Lake Malawi, we now offer an unbeatable “bush and beach” holiday.

Our unmatched knowledge of the region enables us to create a safari that is perfect for you.

Founded in 1986, we are based in the unspoilt South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, home to one of the greatest collections of wildlife in the world - including leopard, lion, elephant, giraffe, buffalo, hippo and more than 400 species of birds. In the Luangwa our three intimate camps offer a true luxury wilderness experience with stylish accommodation, attentive service, fine dining and some of the best private guides in Africa. None of our bush camps sleeps more than twelve. Robin Pope Safaris is run by Robin, one of the best known guides in Africa, and his wife Jo. Robin and his team of guides specialise in walking safaris, photographic safaris, night drives and private safaris for families. Fly to Lake Malawi for a relaxing few days at Pumulani ~ the perfect way to complete a Zambian safari.

Robin has lived in Zambia all his life and has immense knowledge of the country. We can tailor make a range of safaris throughout Zambia and Malawi. This includes the Victoria Falls and the Lower Zambezi, Kafue and North Luangwa National Parks. The latest addition is the Liuwa Plain in Western Zambia. We can also plan the best of Malawi for you.

As pioneers of responsible tourism in Zambia for more than twenty years we have supported many community projects, including a village school. In the 2005 Responsible Tourism Awards Jo won the Best Personal Contribution award.  We also win regular praise in the press. One of our camps, Tena Tena, was described by The Times of London as "altogether beyond superlatives… one of the best safari camps in the whole of Africa".
