We are offering a brief look into our landscapes, game, properties and experiences across Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe via short clips.These have been produced by award-winning documentary-makers, Will and Lianne Steenkamp, producers of the much-loved Safari Diaries. Enjoy the scenic tours and be inspired:

Counting down to the festive season… Make it a green one this year and venture out to Southern Africa. What to expect: A period of revitalization… plenty of new growth, dramatic skies, vibrant colours (the most outstanding being the emerald green! – with the purples, pinks and yellows of new flowers sprouting through). Influx of migratory birds with spirals of migrating storks, cuckoos and other “specials” like the African pitta.

World Lion Day is celebrated annually on the 10th of August! As the lion population thrives in Malawi it is haard to believe that not so long ago there were no lions at all in Majete Wildlife Reserve or beyond.

Always after off the beaten track experiences, Robin Pope Safaris are running this safari exclusively during the month of April to give a different dimension to bush camping when the Luangwa Valley is lush, green and at its most dramatic. Phenomenal birding, beautiful vistas and game viewing during what is usually an overlooked and underrated time of year. The safari is a combination of two fixed camps with an overnight bush camping that will make for an exceptional safari and the opportunity to see the Luangwa Valley in all it's emerald glory.

With the Christmas just around the corner, is your festive season getaway booked already? Why not make it a Green Christmas this year and venture out to Malawi for a fabulous bush & beach holiday complete with all the festive cheer! Wehave put together a fabulous Christmas package to make the most of this special time of year, the green season.

Zimbabwe has been named one of the most beautiful countries on the continent and it certainly lives up to that in spectacular style.  Explore three of Zimbabwe’s top regions with Robin Pope Safaris! An 8-night package in three exclusive safari camps:  3 nights at The Hide Safari Camp in Hwange National Park,  2 nights at Changa Safari Camp on Lake Kariba in Matusadona National Park,  3 nights at John’s Camp in World Heritage site Mana Pools.

The Hippo King From the makers of the award winning documentary Leopard Legacy comes the Hippo King - a compelling life story of a hippo, from birth to adulthood.

We were thrilled to have Julz Braavedt back in the South Luangwa Valley last year, after many years, this time working on his own new project which is now complete:

Recent wild dog conservation success in the Luangwa Valley has it estimated to now have the largest population of wild dogs in the whole of Zambia. Despite being one of Africa’s most endangered carnivores, wild dogs (also fondly known as the painted wolf) in and around the South Luangwa National Park have enjoyed several years of increasing numbers, and there are now estimated to be approximately 350 adults and yearlings living in the Luangwa Valley.

While we wait with bated breath for the return of long-haul travel, we are thrilled to be able to share a bit of Africa with you and your clients virtually through the latest documentary coming straight out of South Luangwa National Park entitled Leopard Legacy!

Ton de Rooy, the Owner/Director of Robin Pope Safaris will be at ITB this year and would love to fill you in on all that has been going on with RPS. We have exciting developments to share, from John's Camp's first year of operation to a brand new camp in Liwonde, Malawi - Kuthengo Camp. Catch up with Ton at ITB for all this and more!

This July we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mkulumadzi Lodge! Join us for a virtual celebration over the next month as we take a walk back in time, re-visiting the special moments and milestones of Mkulumadzi Lodge.

Are you a conservationist at heart...? Here is a unique opportunity to spend a week in the 'Warm Heart of Africa', Malawi gaining insights to African Parks' exceptional work. Malawi has an incredible story to share with the world on various conservation success stories that have been achieved thus far, and lots more to come.

We're thrilled to have yet another wildlife documentary hitting the small screens, that was filmed in none other than the South Luangwa National Park!

Malawi has an incredible story to share on its conservation success stories and our new package, Focus on Conservation gives our guests an insight into it! Decades of lawlessness and poaching had eradicated the majority of Malawis wildlife so much so that by the early 1990s, species such as black rhino and cheetah had disappeared and all hope was lost for these species to ever be seen in the wild again.

This year Pumulani, the brightest star on Lake Malawi turns 10! Thank you for your continued support over the years.

Pumulani turns 10!  This June marked Pumulani Lodge’s 10th anniversary! And what a wonderful ten years it has been. As Pumulani enters the double digits, we look back at a few fond memories and interesting facts over the decade:

River Journeys with Robin Pope Safaris Looking ahead into 2019 and need some inspiration for first quarter of the year? Our River Journeys safari is the perfect way to experience the Luangwa during the most underrated time of the year, the Emerald Season.

Looking for a 'fresh' safari to kick start the year... Our River Journeys is just what you need! The Luangwa River is one of the last remaining major rivers in Africa, and even in the world, that has not been damned for hydropower.

Robin Pope Safaris offers highly personalised and unforgettable safari experiences, combining genuine African bush with simple yet stylish luxury.
