Lumbe Pools Wild Barotse Drift Tiger fish package - 26 Sep to 3 Oct 2025

Bucket list Zambezi Tiger fishing

Lumbe Pools offers a truly unique Zambezi River experience in the heart of Barotseland. Hosted package 26 Sep - 3 Oct 2025.


Lumbe Pools is everything we know guests will love from a visit to the Zambezi with the added ‘wow’ of our magical little secret, the Lumbe River! Right from the outset, Lumbe Pools was built to be different – in the best possible way. It's a place where someone can visit with their spouse, their family or friends and know that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Magical Zambezi Setting - The chalets are open to the river from all corners the beds, the chairs, the shower, the bath and even the toilet! It’s so much better when you can hear the river, smell the wilderness and feel the breezes.

Combination of both beach and river activities - Lumbe offers different things incl beach boule, freshwater snorkelling, drift based tiger fishing, the Sioma Falls, beach golf and much more.

Access to two rivers - the Zambezi and the Lumbe Camp is situated on the banks of not just one river, but
two completely different but equally beautiful rivers. The magic and pristine Lumbe and the mighty Zambezi.
