A safari company with history and heart

Safaris

Since 1985, Robin Pope Safaris have offered both 4x4 safaris and walking safaris.
They began in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, but now also operate safaris in Majete Wildlife Reserve and Liwonde National Park in Malawi and Mana Pools in Zimbabwe.

Lakes & Rivers

As well as safari camps, Robin Pope Safaris also has a lodge near Victoria Falls in Zambia (Stanley Safari Lodge) and a lodge on the side of Lake Malawi (Pumulani). In different ways, both are perfect for a post-safari chill-out.

Pioneers of walking mobile safaris in Africa

Walking mobile safaris began in Zambia's South Luangwa Valley. In the late 1970s, a young guide called Robin Pope was one of the original pioneers of walking safaris. He began his own company in 1985 and they've been going strong ever since. The company is now owned by the De Rooy family, passionate advocates of the benefits of tourism for conservation and community development.

A walking safari is one of the very best ways to feel the heartbeat of Africa. It's slow, you use all your senses, and you have a chance to connect with the land in a way that a 4x4 safari cannot offer you. Most people can cope with a short walk of an hour or two, but a multi-day walking safari is certainly not for everyone. Even though it's rarely physically challenging (unless you find the heat difficult), you have to keep your wits about you. The rewards of walking in the wilderness are always more than you'd think. Be warned: once you've done it once, you will want to do it again!
