Nkwali Camp is run by Robin Pope, one of the best-known guides in Africa. He and his team specialise in walking safaris, photographic safaris, night drives and private safaris for families. Nkwali Camp is located on Robin's private land in Mfuwe, overlooking the National Park. The land is superb game viewing country, with a beautiful area of ebony woodland and open grasslands. Elephants regularly cross the Luangwa or come to the waterhole near the thatched dining room, and the area is famous for leopard and giraffe sightings.
Nkwali Camp offers a luxury wilderness experience with stylish accommodation in 6 beautifully-furnished, spacious bamboo-built open-style cottages, all overlooking the river, with ensuite bathrooms with flush toilets. There is a bar, built around a huge ebony on the river bank, and excellent food is served in the dining room. Nkwali Camp also has a swimming pool.
At the edge of Nkwali Camp is Robin’s House. Recently renovated, this private house is ideal for families, honeymooners and guests looking for a little privacy. There are two luxury ensuite bedrooms, a central sitting room and dining room and a private kitchen and chef, along with a valet. 1km from the camp is Luangwa Safari House, which can accommodate up to eight guests in four large ensuite bedrooms, and has a massive dining/sitting area and a swimming pool. The superstructure of this stunning house is twenty five ancient and weathered leadwood trees. Children staying at Luangwa Safari House can enjoy special activities, and there is a child minder available.
Guests at Nkwali Camp can also spend a night in a house next to the school that Robin Pope supports in Nsefu Village. Accommodation and food is totally African. There is the chance to meet the Chief, a local traditional healer, to spend a morning with the ladies collecting water and cooking, to help with constructions, and dance with the ladies.
