Robin's House

This lovely thatched family home has a central living area with comfortable couches and an open-plan dining room. Meals are prepared by your personal chef, and served outside next to the swimming pool, or indoors beside the fire during chilly weather. The overall feel is one of relaxed bush living, with unobtrusive staff on hand to cater for all needs, leaving you free to enjoy this wonderful riverside home and set your own pace around the various game viewing activities.

Two spacious, well-appointed bedrooms, one with a double bed, and the other with three single beds, are situated on either side of the lounge and dining area. Each has a huge en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, shower and toilet. The rooms are decorated in soft pastels, with bright cushions and throws, and mosquito nets. Large windows open onto the gardens which stretch all the way to the edge of the river and catch the breeze coming off the water.

A private vehicle and guide gives you complete freedom to plan your days as you wish. Game drives and guided bush walks take place across the river in South Luangwa National Park, renowned for excellent sightings, particularly elephants, buffalo, lions and leopards. Depending on water levels, boat cruises offer the chance to explore the waterways and lagoons, rich in birdlife. Children’s activities are geared according to age, and could include baking biscuits with the chef or visiting the local school.
