With just six chalets it’s small and intimate and they have kept the old-world charm whilst embracing modern convenience with en suite bathrooms each room has views of the river from the terrace and offers understated elegance for your stay in the bush.  South Luangwa is a paradise for wildlife lovers, with game species including elephants, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, leopards, and lions and over 450 species of birds. Several antelope species are found in large numbers, especially the puku and impala. Also, to be found in huge herds are buffalo and elephants. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, seasonal boating and village tours. All meals and local drinks are included in the nightly price.

Nsefu Camp

This experience can only be compined with staying in either Nsefu or Tena Tena Camps.  First of all, what is “bush camping”? …walking with the best of guides, dipping deeper into the bush from the fixed camps by camping out for a night, dinner and stories around the fire, simple but delicious food…  This is simple camping but with that extra touch of comfort. There are stand up tents, mattresses on the ground, sheets and blankets, a wash basin, a shared 60L bucket shower, a bush loo, a full bar and food service, fully serviced camp (except laundry). The walking is in one of the most lagoon rich areas of the Luangwa and hence the game is superb. When staying at Tena Tena and Nsefu you can walk between the two for two or three days, camping on the way.

Luangwa River Camp sits nestled under an ebony grove on the banks of the Luangwa River, Zambia in a game-rich area. The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It is through this that the great meandering Luangwa River runs, with its ox bow lagoons, riverine-supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds. Luangwa River Camp sits nestled under an ancient ebony grove on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking an area known as the Luangwa Wafwa, which is extremely popular with wildlife. This small and intimate camp with just five bush suites, along with its setting and location creates a real “wow” factor and a romantic feeling simply flows through the camp. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, seasonal boating and village tours. All meals and local drinks are included in the nightly price.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.

High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.

This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities. 

Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.

Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.

Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
