Family Bookings

When kids see the Zambezi, their eyes open wide in wonder that a river can be THAT big! It’s such a special experience to share with them and that’s before you even get onto the water! 

However, most Zambezi lodges and camps are priced in a way that makes family travel very heavy on the pocket and on top of that, they are very often NOT family friendly.

At Lumbe Pools, we intentionally set out to change that and we did so by changing 3 things most other Zambezi camps and lodges don’t do for families.

  1. We only charge for adults when they bring kids of 12 and under and we only charge teens 50%. 
  2. We are able to offer beaches and the Lumbe River as safe places to play and swim without the risk of crocodiles and hippos. This is a huge difference because it offers BOTH the magical and wild Zambezi experience and an ‘inland beach’ experience in one destination.
  3. We have thought about family life. That’s why we have a range of activities for all ages and baby sitting to compliment our traditional activities like tiger fishing and pontoon cruises.
