Luangwa Bush Camping

Luangwa Bush Camping

South Luangwa National Park

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.

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.
