We were in S Luangwa in March 2011 and were brought to Nkwali as a stop en route to the airport for lunch/freshening up. We hadn't stayed here during that trip but were impressed by the hospitality of Robin Pope Safaris in giving us a room for the short duration we were passing through and decided to stay here properly...

We stayed at Nkwali for 6 nights at the end of the emerald season. This was our second visit in 2 years. The location, the staff, the guiding and the accommodation are really excellent. What lets it down slightly is the food which is not as good as we have had in other camps in the area. More salad vegetables... More

I was at Nkwali Camp in March 2012. I loved Zambia in the green season and Nkwali was a great place to be. It had more other residents than the other two camps I had stayed at, but seemed to absorb them gracefully. I was a solo traveller who stayed here bear the end of my 10 days in Zambia.... More

I had never been on a safari like this before and I may never go again - but Nkwali gave us an incredible experience that we will never forget. Delicious food, attentive and kind staff and of course the most beautiful countryside and incredible animals. Our guide was both knowledgable and friendly and we saw everything that we had on...

Nkwali was our third camp, so it's hard not to compare it to other camps. It's bit more relaxed/casual than other camps i visited, but nice. The food was quite tasty (breakfast & lunch are buffets, dinner is family style - good but if you are a picky eater it might be a challenge). Our trip to Nkwali was a... More

We spent a 3 day weekend at Nkwali, during which time we went out on 5 safaris, including a walking safari. One of our most memorable weekends ever. The accommodations are superb, the food delicious, the staff is top notch - our guides Kiki and Victor highly knowledgeable, helpful, and just fun to spend time with, and junior staff Jonathan...

Three nights spent here at the end of October/beginning of November. This is an informal (though by no means basic) camp on the river with excellent game viewing opportunities. The food was varied, tasty and suited our needs well: lots of salad and vegetables at both brunch and dinner. How they do it is nothing short of miraculous - a... More

Thank-you Kiki, Tigger and all the wonderful staff at Nkwali Camp. We stayed for 4 nights at the end of July at the begining of our 4th trip to Africa. We hadnt made it to Zambia before, but had heard it was a fabulous place to see the bush and all the wonderful wildlife Africa has to offer. We were... More

It is hard to write something new about this wonderful camp. We spent 4 nights there, and had just a fabulous time. Chalets are more than comfortable, and I particularly loved the outdoor showers!! The staff at Nkwali is first-rate, from the front office personnel (who helped us with transportation issues), to housekeeping, to guides, hosts (and hostess) etc., they... More

Having just landed at Mfuwe airport, it was very nice to be straight away taken into the park for some wildlife spotting, and a drinks at sunset. This set the tone for a great stay at Nkwali camp. We were taken care of very well by the staff who were very welcoming and flexible about how we spent our two... More
