Nsefu Camp

South Luangwa National Park

Nsefu Camp, the first photographic safari camp in Zambia, offers charm, history, exclusivity and comfort in what is without a doubt the best location in the South Luangwa National Park. The camp was the first camp to be built and is both unique and steeped in history. It enjoys an excellent location in the Nsefu sector on a magnificent meander of the Luangwa River where elephants frequently cross.

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.

Farmer Piet Schoeman is always proud to say that the farm is not an ostrich show farm but an authentic working ostrich farm where guests can see and learn everything about this uniquely South African farming activity. A big portion of the farm has been made available to a wide variety of free-roaming indigenous game like zebra, springbok, blue wildebeest, kudu, impala, eland, waterbuck and nyala. 

Located just off the Garden Route, about an hour north of George, this makes the perfect mid-way stop between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Oudtshoorn has something for everyone in the family, explore the famous Cango Caves, take a drive through the scenic Swartberg Mountain pass.

Located in the heart of the Waterberg plateau in Limpopo, this camps is surrounded by wildlife and tranquil scenery. The unspoiled wilderness of the Waterberg is surrounded by a game reserve encompassing wetlands, open fields, bushy areas and a rocky ridge, the family-friendly camp offers various exciting game-viewing opportunities in a malaria-free environment. 

Highlights include horseback game viewing safaris, guided game drives, hiking, astronomy shows and birdwatching. You can encounter giraffe, zebra, eland, wildebeest, roan, sable, buffalo, kudu, impala, blesbok, waterbuck and ostrich. Cool off in the farm's swimming pool, try a game of volleyball, or visit the lookout decks, Tree Tops, or the Aardvark deck for endless views. 

For the kids, the adventure playground is a firm favourite. With Waterberg's hot summers and moderate winters, the camp is a year-round holiday or weekend destination. All 10 tents are situated along a ridge in the very heart of this plateau where the scenery is one of open vistas stretching to distant horizons bounded by the blue outlines of mountains and hills that form the ramparts of the Waterberg "castle". The Waterberg is a hidden paradise of private game reserves.

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.
