"Robin Pope Safaris bush-camp review"
Whilst on foot saw lions at moderately close quarters and stumbled across 3 wild dogs bringing down an impala. Also many antelope/zebra/elephant
Walked on average about 8 miles a day on 4 successive days. Showers/long drop facilities clean and well organised.
We were in a group of 4 who were relatively well matched in terms of fitness and it worked really well. We noticed that the group taking over from us included an 88 year old and I'm not sure how well that would work if paired for instance with a younger couple. Its unclear to me how Robin Pope deal with that situation and whether all parties are aware prior to the start of the trip.
Food was incredibly good
Long drops and bucket shower are communal but clean and with a system that works well" See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia

"Robin Pope Safaris bush-camp review"
We had Sebastian for our guide who was excellent, we wanted him to focus on the birds and he did.
But we also saw a Leopard up a tree with a kill plus 8 lions all in the same evening plus we were about 25 metres away from a Lion the following day" See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia

"My first time bush camping"
The walking was quite strenuous at times and very rough over the dried pans. One moment of excitement with a close encounter with 2 Hippos.
The birding was also very good.
Luxury of your own loo.
Unfortunate that a swarm of bees prevented a move on the third night but it did not detract from a wonderful 3 days." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia

We gave the same feed back to Rob who knew we had asked for Kanga and said they would always try and allocate staff if they have been asked for" See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"A wonderful experience"
"Robin Pope Safaris bush-camp review"
As it turned out, we did a morning drive instead of a hike to meet a guide from the next lodge 1/2 way." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia
