nkwali lodge
Nkwali Lodge
is located on Robin's private land, overlooking
the National Park. The land is superb gameviewing
country, with a beautiful area of ebony woodland
and open grasslands. Elephants regularly cross
the Luangwa, seen from the bar, or come to the
waterhole near the thatched dining room.
The chalets are cool and spacious, overlooking
the river. Access to the park is by boat or our
nearby pontoon. The area is famous for leopard
and giraffe sightings.

nsefu camp
On a sweeping bend of the Luangwa
river, 12 kilometers north of Tena Tena, lies
Nsefu Camp. Nsefu was the first
photographic safari camp in Zambia and dates back
to the early fifties. The Nsefu Sector was recognised
then as a phenomenal area and it still is. We
reopened the camp in 1999, in keeping with the
original style, and so operate the only two camps
in the Nsefu Sector of the park.
The view of the river is superb and includes a
terraced area where game grazes during the day.
The bar, tucked in beside a huge extinct termite
mound, overlooks a waterhole that is very productive
for game, especially leopard at night. The original
rondavels have been extended, with a spacious
bathroom added. Each room has a clear view of
the river, through large windows and from the
new wooden verandah. The camp lies in the heart
of the undeveloped Nsefu sector and so offers
charm and total comfort in remoteness and seclusion.

tena tena camp
This remote and small camp lies
within the National Park and enjoys a stunning
location on a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River.
A grove of mahogany trees shade the large custom-made
tents. From the thatched dining room and bar,
guests can watch the elephants, hippo and antelope
on the river banks. Near by there is a spectacular
lagoon, where a whole morning can be spent quietly
sitting while the game comes down to feed and
drink. With the camp being remote and small, we
have these scenes to ourselves.
"Tena Tena Camp
is altogether beyond superlatives, and must be
one of the best safari camps in the whole of Africa"
The Times, London.
