A Zambezi adventure for the whole family!
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!
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.
Lumbe Pools isn’t just another fishing camp on the Zambezi – there is something for everyone here!
Note: If 2 adults stay a minimum of 5 nights, children up to 12 years stay for free, teens between 13 and 18 pay 50% of adult rate.

LUMBe activities
Snorkeling
Strictly in the Lumbe, snorkel in the crystal clear pools to see our labeos, barbs, minnows and small bream that live in amongst the rocks.
“Beach” Games
We have access to a lot of squeaky white beaches for tanning, beach boules, beach golf and frizbee.
Fishing
In addition to tiger fishing, we offer ‘doba doba’ angling for youngsters and the chance to nymph the rapids of the Lumbe and Zambezi for yellowfish and labeo.
Sioma Falls
No visit to Lumbe Pools would be complete without a trip to the Sioma Falls – the second largest waterfall on the Zambezi – to swim in the natural jacuzzis and have G & T’s on the rocks next to the Falls.
Walking, Running or Birding
Enjoy the various trails around Lumbe for running or walking (note sand is soft) or birding for riverine and miombo species.
