Lodge Description

Robin's House
The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa - a claim which is not an overstatement. It is through this 9050sq kilometer National Park that the great meandering Luangwa river runs, with its ox bow lagoons, tributaries, riverine supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds.

Robin's House is a small, private and exclusive house on the banks of the Luangwa River, ideal for young families or friends seeking a more indulgent type of safari. This two bedroom house with main living area provides a shady and cool retreat from the African midday heat and if that is not enough there is a stunning plunge pool to soak in whilst looking over the Luangwa River.

With its own team of staff dedicated to looking after you Robin's House offers a home away from home but with added luxuries.

The house
Set upstream from Nkwali under a thick canopy of trees you will find Robin's House. With great views of the river and across into the park but with the added bonus of a cool breeze coming through the trees this two bedroom house is the perfect retreat for any family or group of friends wanting privacy and a safari experience specifically tailored to their needs.

The two spacious bedrooms (one double and one triple) each with en-suite bathrooms along with main area are protected from the wilds of Zambia by large set gauze windows, this makes it perfectly safe for families with young children. The main area with its large comfy sofa and chairs is the perfect place for catching up on the days safari with a cold drink before your dinner cooked for you by your private chef.

The house offers complete privacy with a team of staff dedicated solely to you to ensure that all your needs are attended to.
