Photos and Feedback from the 2024 season

 Thanks to everyone who visited us our little piece of paradise in 2024!

2024 was a special year at Lumbe Pools! It was a year when:

Big fish were caught by a lot of people in many different ways! Families spent time together on a very special part of the Zambezi for birthdays and easter egg hunts during the holidays. Old friends got together again around the firepit under the stars Father’s and son’s drifted the gorge and caught big tiger together…

All in all, the experiences we envisioned people having when we built Lumbe Pools happened throughout the year and it has left us with a lot of joy and fulfilment. We look forward to sharing these moments with you as well!
