This is what Monday looks like at Tena Tena. 🐆

A morning out on safari, guests enjoying the sights, and a leopard casually strolling past as if it’s just another day at the office.

Not a bad way to start the week…

How’s your Monday looking? 😎

🦁 When dinner turns into a family argument… 😂

Luangwa River Camp guide Daniel Zulu sent us this incredible video of a lion feeding frenzy.

At first, everyone seemed happy to share the spoils… that is, until one lion got a little greedy. And then? Chaos. Ensued. 😂

Watch until the end to see what happened next! 👀🦁

🎉 IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY WEEK! 40 YEARS OF ROBIN POPE SAFARIS 🎉

We’re celebrating 40 years, and what better way to mark the occasion than with the incredible people who make it all happen.

The team at Mkulumadzi got together to celebrate the big 4-0, and there were plenty of smiles, laughs and, of course, a little cake involved! 🥂🎂

And a special mention to Chef William, who got a little too excited about the anniversary and gave us a creative new spelling of “anniversary” on the cake. 😂 The team found it absolutely hilarious — and honestly, it made the celebration even more memorable!

Here’s to 40 years, the amazing teams behind Robin Pope Safaris, and everyone who has been part of the journey. ❤️

40 years of wild places, incredible wildlife and unforgettable adventures — and we couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️

Today at Kuthengo Camp in Liwonde National Park, our guests raised a glass of Amarula and toasted to 40 years of RPS! 🥂🌿

We also asked them to share a little about their trip so far…

Here’s to 40 years — and many more adventures to come! 🎉

There’s nothing quite like coming across a big herd of buffalo while out on safari! 🐃

Our guide Chizzy and his guests were treated to this incredible sighting while out on a game drive. A sea of horns, ears and curious faces as this impressive herd made its way through the bush.

Thanks for sending this one in, Chizzy! What a sighting! 🙌🐃

THROWBACK THURSDAY | THEN & NOW 🐾

As we continue our walk down memory lane celebrating 40 years of Robin Pope Safaris, we’re heading back to the archives with a throwback photo of Bertrame “Bertie” Njobvu.

Bertie’s RPS journey started from humble beginnings as a groundsman at Nkwali Camp. His curiosity about wildlife and infectious personality quickly stood out, and during the rainy season of 2004/2005, he got his hands greasy in the workshop, learning the ropes of vehicle mechanics before moving into guest transfers.

It didn’t take long for Bertie’s natural ability to connect with people to shine through. By 2006, he had passed his guide exam and officially embarked on his career as a safari guide. 🌟

More than 20 years later, Bertie is still very much part of the RPS family. For over a decade, Tena Tena has been his home away from home, where he has been both head guide and manager — and where he has witnessed more than his fair share of unforgettable wildlife moments.

If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Bertie, you’ll know that gathering around the campfire with him is always a highlight. His stories, his humour and his incredible knowledge of the bush make for some very memorable evenings!

As beautiful as the places we operate in and as incredible as the wildlife may be, at the heart of Robin Pope Safaris are our people. And Bertie is a wonderful example of the people who have helped make our story what it is today. ❤️

🐾 Happy World Wild Dog Day! 🐾

If there’s one animal that knows about teamwork, it’s the African wild dog. Fast, clever, fiercely social, these incredible predators are one of Africa’s most fascinating species. 🐕💨

But behind those big ears and beautiful coats is a species that still faces a very real fight for survival. Habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, disease and other pressures have made wild dogs one of Africa’s most endangered predators.

The good news? They’re still thriving in parts of Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. 🇿🇲 🇲🇼 🇿🇼

Thanks to the hard work of conservation organisations including the Zambian Carnivore Programme, Conservation South Luangwa, African Parks and the Endangered Wildlife Trust, among many others, wild dogs continue to have a fighting chance.

And when you see a pack tearing across the bush, ears flying and tails up, it’s a pretty good reminder that conservation really does make a difference.

Here’s to the wild ones — and the people working hard to keep them wild. 🐾❤️

When your commute looks like this… 🦁

Every week, John’s Camp Manager Tawanda makes the drive out of Mana Pools to the small town of Makuti to collect supplies for camp.

It might sound like a bit of a tedious commute, but when your based in one of Africa’s most incredible wild places, even the weekly supply run can turn into something pretty special.

Tawanda sent us this video from the road! How many lions can you count? 👀

Monday views from Mkulumadzi Lodge 🌿

Starting the week with a little reminder of why we love being here. The Shire River, the surrounding bush and those peaceful moments in the wild — not a bad view to wake up to on a Monday.
