Robin Pope founded his safari company 30 years ago establishing a high reputation for small, luxurious, intimate and remote camps in pristine wilderness areas, with unrivalled game viewing by vehicle, boat and foot. Recently, Kuthengo Camp at Liwonde National Park has been added inspiring us to combine Zambia’s famous South Luangwa National Park, with Malawi, the warm heart of Africa.
Malawi is a peaceful central African country renowned for friendly people. Its big draw is Lake Malawi, stretching 500km along the border. Liwonde is home to elephant, crocodile, lion, cheetah and prolific birdlife whilst Majete is a ‘Big Five’ reserve.
Zambia’s premier national park, South Luangwa is best known for its breathtaking scenery and density of animals; herds of elephants, hippos, impalas, waterbucks, giraffes and buffalos wander on the open plains; leopards, hunt in the woodlands.
None of this comes at a low price but our special arrangement is able to offer an excellent tariff including game viewing, food and drinks on safari.
