Nsefu Camp is a classic South Luangwa camp. Slightly raised and painted white, the stone-built, thatched rondavels are reminiscent of a traditional hunter's camp with a small veranda attached. The round rooms are just big enough to fit in a large bed, but not much else. The attached bathroom, however, is quite spacious and also provides space to store your luggage.

The camp is situated on the outer bend of a river and large numbers of elephant and buffalo can be seen migrating to the water. Made of stone and thatch, the main building has an open-plan design and is slightly elevated to offer one of the valley's best river views. Close by is a fire pit for evening barbecues and a small waterhole that is frequently visited by elephants.

Nsefu Camp remains open during the Emerald Season in April and May, when boat and walking safaris are on offer (roads are no longer navigable). The transfer from Nkwali Camp to Nsefu Camp is also made by boat.

Nsefu Camp is situated on the eastern bank of the Luangwa River in the Nsefu Sector in the northern part of South Luangwa National Park. Journey time from Mfuwe Airport is about 1.5 hours. Transfer from one camp to the other is planned as a morning game drive, often on a private basis. Tena Tena Camp is located approximately 30 minutes drive away.

These mobile tents are used on Robin Pope walking safaris between Nsefu Camp and Tena Tana Camp.

Up to four guests are allowed per tour; six guests are allowed when touring as a private group of friends. Guests can look forward to an intimate and beautiful bush experience in a tranquil part of South Luangwa National Park teeming with wildlife.

On such walking safaris you will encounter big game on foot, especially elephants and buffalo. It is also possible to bump into lions and sightings of leopards are not uncommon. Therefore a minimum age rule applies.

Your walking guide will be accompanied by an armed ranger and an assistant who will carry drinks and cookies. You should be confident to walk for 4-5 hours, which includes many stops to observe the wildlife. The walked distance in the morning is about 6-10 km. The guides will explain the fauna and flora of the area and you will learn interesting facts about the behavior of the animals and the use of plants and trees. The group usually returns to camp between 10 and 11am, with lunch waiting for them. Later in the afternoon the group will go for another relatively short walk, returning to the camp just before sunset.

The walk-in tents are equipped with a mattress on the floor; a bush shower and simple WC are located nearby. Dinner is prepared over an open fire and served under the stars. Accommodation is simple yet perfectly adequate; the camp is lit by paraffin lamps and the campfire - best to bring your own torches.

Tena Tena Camp was moved by 1 km in 2012 after the river ate away at the banks leaving the camp caught dangerously between the river and the lagoon behind it. The camp is located a little further north with its rooms once again built facing the river - which is now some distance away.

Four medium-size, canopied rooms with light coloured stone floors and open-air bathrooms and showers are located on one side of the main building; the larger honeymoon tent is located a good distance away on the other side.

The main building is a large, open-sided tent tucked under shade-giving trees and contains a bar, lounge and dining table. Colourful cushions are distributed at varying levels on the ground facing the river. Breakfast is usually served around the fire pit situated on the meadow to the front of the camp.

Tena Tena Camp is situated in the northern part of South Luangwa National Park and sits in the less frequently visited Nsefu Sector. Vehicle transfer time is 1.5 hours from Mfuwe Airport. The Nsefu Sector is shared with Nsefu Camp and Tafika Camp only.
