LUANGWA SAFARI HOUSE
The Luangwa Safari House is extraordinary – large and spacious, the house gives you space and luxury with nature on your doorstep. Designed by Neil Rocher, this stunning private house is situated on Robin Pope’s Nkwali land.
The super structure of the house is twenty five ancient and weathered leadwood trees. The entrance side of the house is grand, and is exquisitely faced with stones from the hills. The massive door opens into the huge main room and instantly you see incredible views through the front of the house – which is completely open.
Built on the edge of a seasonal lagoon and with a backdrop of the Chindeni Hills the game, including herds of elephants and giraffe, use this area to feed and water throughout the day. 
From the outside, the house has a traditional feel. However, venture inside and you find that each room has a totally individual and unique style. The sizeable living room is dominated by large comfy sofas and a huge marble dining table. The room stretches up two storeys, to the thatched roof with wooden staircases rising out of the floor to take you to the upstairs bedrooms. The open front of the room leads out onto a quartz tiled terrace with large plunge pool to one side.
From this terrace a magnificent risen walkway leads to a wooden deck surrounding a small group of huge ebony trees in the middle of the lagoon. There is a large leather sofa, and a hanging chair plus dining table and chairs for al fresco meals. From here the waterhole is nearby, and sitting quietly you will be close to families of elephant that come to bathe. 
Each of the four bedrooms has a style of its own. There are extra large beds in each room, each with a mosquito net and internal ceiling fan. The beds have all been designed differently, from two poster beds to beds suspended by chains from the roof. The materials used in the bedrooms are hand painted and specifically designed and made locally at Tribal Textiles. Each bathroom has a different theme for the fittings, reflecting the colours of the rooms. From copper for the “Coral room” (including a hand made copper bath) to recycled sandblasted aluminium in the “Blue Agate” bedroom. The upstairs rooms have a suspended wooden balcony, where you can sit out at night with a moonlit view over the bush to the distant hills. The downstairs bedrooms each have a private tiled verandah.
