A family adventure
Looking for an active safari that suits the whole family…? This safari offers the perfect mix for any family – Zambia’s Livingstone, home to the spectacular Victoria Falls and that country’s premier park, South Luangwa; ending off at the pristine shores of Lake Malawi. It offers loads of opportunity for much needed quality time for the family as well; with all properties having an option of exclusive family accommodation.
Livingstone is home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world, The Victoria Falls, and offers many activity opportunities, both adrenaline filled and more sedate, to view and enjoy this amazing site.
South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa, through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game – including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo – and over 450 species of birds. Robin’s House offers the perfect family getaway.
Pumulani Lodge is the last stop on the safari and is located on the Nankumba Peninsula, recognized as one of the most picturesque part of Lake Malawi, within the Lake Malawi National Park which is home to hundreds of fish species, including the colourful cichlids.

Day 4 - 6: Robin’s House
Robin’s House lies on the banks of the Luangwa River with a stunning view across to the park and the escarpment. The house has two bedrooms, both with large bathrooms. The main area is both a sitting room and dining room. Most meals are taken outside under a huge ebony tree. During lunch animals and birds, including the hippo that live nearby in the river, will give a superb backdrop to the meal. The house has a private guide and host to look after every need.
The daily routine is determined by the individual family, from when meals are served to what activities take place every day is totally flexible. During your time at Robin's House, you have the option of 2 game activities per day, with the choice of a game drive or a walking safari and possibly a boating excursion depending on the water levels of the Luangwa River. We always recommend a visit to the community, by going to the Kawaza Village and School depending on the time of year. This is a day that is especially loved by children of all ages. You are able to join in at the school, meet children, play games, learn about their lives. The visit to the village gives further insight in the local life.

Day 7 - 10: Pumulani Lodge
The last stop on your family holiday is at the brightest star on Lake Malawi - Pumulani Lodge.
Spend the next few days doing as little or as much as you like. Our remote beach setting is ideal for those who simply want to soak up the sun and swim in the clear blue waters of the lake. Those who prefer to take a dive in the swimming pool, there is an infinity pool near the central dining area with grand views over the lake, as well as another infinity pool on beach level. For those seeking activity we offer many watersports activities like snorkelling, fishing, sailing, kayaking, waterskiing, wake boarding and fun tube rides (all motorized activities are excluded). At the end of the day climb aboard our dhow and let our experienced local crewmen take you sailing into the sunset. There is no chance of any family member being bored with so much to choose from.
We had an amazing trip to Zambia with Robin Pope Safaris - our family of 6 stayed at 3 RPS properties and each lived up to the highest standards - incredible locations, intimate venues for the family, bush brunch or breakfast, magical sundowners, and simply amazing game viewing. Our four kids had a once in a lifetime opportunity. The staff at all the locations were amazing and cared for all of us.
We could not have imagined a better place or a more efficient organisation for our African adventure. We experienced the peace and beauty of African sunrises and sunsets and the awesome night-skies, and achieved total relaxation in the regular rhythm of our trip which gave us different experiences every day. An absolutely five star family holiday in every way.
