Day 01: Arrival

>> On arrival at Lusaka International Airport, you will be met by one of our local representatives who will have a welcome board with your name. You will be assisted with checking in for your flight to Mfuwe, South Luangwa. The flight is on average one hour. At Mfuwe International Airport, a guide from Robin Pope Safaris will meet you for a game drive transfer to Tena Tena, in the Nsefu Sector of the South Luangwa. The Nsefu Sector was recognized then as a phenomenal area, and it still is.

Tena Tena is a remote, intimate camp which lies within the Nsefu Sector, and enjoys a stunning location on a bend of the Luangwa River. Most meals are taken under the shade of a huge Mahogany tree in the centre of the camp. On arrival, you will be shown to your tent and then lunch will be served, followed by a well-deserved siesta before the afternoon and evening/night game drive.

Time: 8-10 hours
Meals: All meals included All drinks (Premium wines & liquors might be excluded)

Accommodation: Tena Tena Camp > Luxury tented bush camp bordering South Luangwa NP without fences

Day 02-04: South Luangwa National Park

>> After breakfast around the campfire, your safari will continue with another relaxing day in the Nsefu Sector, with morning and evening game activities. Depending on the time of year, an all-day picnic drive covering different habitats comes highly recommended and is an exceptional day’s safari.

A few more days to explore the Tena Tena area fully —a chance to drive or walk through the ebony groves. Or you may decide this is an ideal day, depending on the heat and time of year, to explore further afield. Possibly a day tour to Kawaza village for a cultural experience or Tribal Textiles to get some insight into the local industry, plus a chance to buy some souvenirs. Nothing is set in stone, and your days will be designed and planned with you bearing your interests in mind. You can mix and match activities to maximize your experience in this game-rich and remote area of the Luangwa.

It is made up of 4 traditional, luxurious safari tents, positioned on a raised wooden deck, allowing game to wander around freely and to give you a magnificent view of the Lower Zambezi National Park. Where the Zambezi River and Mushika Flood Plain meet is also the meeting spot for hundreds of animal species. Come morning or night, you’ll be greeted with an array of games from the comfort of your tent. Lower Zambezi is great for water-based activities, and during your stay, you can enjoy an array of activities such as canoeing, boating, and fishing, with game drives and walking as a bonus. You therefore have a full range of activities on offer for these two days; the choice is all yours. Tiger fishing (on a catch-and-release basis) is a must for a keen fisherman.
