Robin’s house – great family option

The Luangwa Valley is not necessarily the easiest place to take 3 young children (6-10 years) – but Robin’s House at Nkwali is a great option. It is separate from the main lodge and you have your own dedicated guide/driver and vehicle so your timetable is at your own discretion. There is a small plunge pool as well far enough away from the main camp not to worry about disturbing other guests.

Service is attentive but not intrusive. The house is plenty spacious and well designed for the heat in September – both indoors and outdoors were good seating areas. As expected so far from a supermarket, the food was simple, but it was always freshly prepared and very edible.

We love RPS

This was our second stay @ a Robin Pope property in two years because we were so happy with our first stay. We stayed in Robin’s House & it was perfect for a family of four. It has two bedrooms — one with three & a possibility of a fourth twin beds. Both bedrooms have an en suite bathroom. The master bathroom is very large with a rain shower & free-standing old-fashionedd tub. There is a large deck where we had breakfast lunch & dinner. There is also a dining area inside if it gets too cold or windy outside. Even tho we were there in the winter & it was chilly night & mornings we never considered using it. Our major domo Michael was always on hand from the time we got up til the time we turned in. We had a hot breakfast every morning & a full lunch plus diner served on our private deck. Since we had the house, we ate when we wanted & went out on the games drives & returned on our own schedule.
