Tena Tena

The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa - a claim which is not an overstatement.

It is through this 9050sq kilometer National Park that the great meandering Luangwa River runs, with its oxbow lagoons, tributaries, 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.

Situated in the exclusive Nsefu Sector Tena Tena sits nestled under a magnificent and thick grove of mahogany trees. On a double-tiered river bank, each room enjoys its own private view onto a long stretch of the Luangwa River.

Tena Tena is synonymous with Robin Pope Safaris as it was the first camp that Robin opened and ran and has become a favorite amongst many safari lovers over the years.

Activities

Game drives · An option of day or night drives. · Toyota Landcruisers with two-tier seats (three-tier for groups/families) are used - a "window" seat (i.e. two people per row) for everyone. · Open-top vehicles, affording you total 360-degree vision.

Walking · The walks are led by our knowledgeable guide, and escorted by an armed National Park scout. · Our guiding team is very passionate and will certainly impart some amazing bush insights at a level that will surprise you.

This gives a more holistic experience of the Luangwa Valley. · Alternatively take a stroll within the community around the Mfuwe area which is bustling – small “Dukas” (shops), the market, bars, and people offering various skills.
