The perfect Zambian welcome
The attention to detail and service provided by the team at Nkwali is exceptional and makes this a truly wonderful experience.
This description was written by Rebecca who had the pleasure of staying here for two nights.
Nkwali Safari Camp, on the banks of the Luangwa River, is an intimate camp which is owned and run by Robin Pope Safaris. The Nkwali camp has set a standard that has become one of Zambia's benchmarks for excellence. Their high service standards and attention to detail doesn't mean losing touch with family style meals and a genuine, friendly atmosphere throughout camp. Nkwali is the perfect welcome to Zambia.
The six thatched chalets are spacious and, during the day, are fully open to wonderful river views; in the evenings the grill doors are pulled together to close the open room fronts. The en-suite bathrooms are spacious with double sinks and showers from which you can enjoy the enormous African skies. Set back from the river on a lagoon are the dining room and swimming pool from which guests are often treated to elephants and other game coming down to drink during the day unperturbed by human presence.
The game viewing is excellent here. Elephant can often be seen crossing the river or visiting the waterhole by the camp, and there are regular sightings of lion and leopard – and occasionally wild dog. A great place to start your holiday in South Luangwa as it's very easy to reach from Mfuwe airport. Equally, great for travellers wishing to combine game driving and walking during their safari.

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
