"Tena Tena Camp... is altogether beyond superlatives, and must be one of the best safari camps in the whole of Africa",
The Times, London. This remote and small (8 beds only) camp lies within the National Park and enjoys a stunning location
on a wide bend of the Luangwa River. A grove of mahogany trees shade the large custom-made tents. From the thatched
dining room and bar guests can watch the elephants, hippo and antelope on the river banks. Near by there is a
spectacular lagoon, Buca Buca, where a whole morning can be spent quietly sitting while the game comes down to feed and
drink. Being remote and so small, we have these scenes to ourselves.

Nsefu Camp, on a sweeping bend of the river, 12 kilometers north of Tena Tena, lies Nsefu. Nsefu was the first game camp
in Zambia and dates back to the early fifties. The Nsefu Sector was recognised then as a phenomenal area and it still is.
We reopened the camp in 1999, in keeping with the original style, and so operate the only 2 camps in the Nsefu Sector
of the park. The view of the river is superb and includes a terraced area where game grazes during the day. The bar,
tucked in beside a huge extinct termite mound, overlooks a waterhole that is very productive for game, especially leopard
at night. The original rondavels have been extended, with a spacious bathroom added. Each room has a clear view of the
river, through large windows and from the new wooden veranda..

Accommodation consists of four twin bedded chalets and one honeymoon suite, with outside bath. All chalets have en-suite facilities, are well ventilated, mosquito-proofed and silently lit by solar power. These brick and thatch chalets are set discretely apart, each with a view of the Luangwa River. There is a large centrally located open-sided sitting room with dining area and Kaingo’s renowned lead wood bar. A wooden deck is also built out over the river for relaxing and game viewing.
A special feature of Kaingo Camp is its unique hides/blinds. The elephant and hippo hides offer spectacular close photographic opportunities and unobtrusive observation of animals in their natural environment. The surrounding area also lends itself to spectacular landscape photography, from vast open plains to shaded forests.
Being in this area we recommend a KAINGO/MWAMBA combination by experiencing Kaingo Camp and transferring to Mwamba Bush Camp, one can enjoy the unique environs and character of both camps, while maintaining quality service and continuity of staff. The journey between the two camps is a relaxed three-hour walking safari, up the Mwamba River, filled with an abundance of game. Luggage is transferred by vehicle and for those guests who prefer to drive the trip takes only 20 minutes.
A significant advantage of Kaingo and Mwamba camps have over most other operations is that its camps are located in one of the most game-intensive areas in SLNP. By being situated opposite the Nsefu Sector of SLNP, it allows visitors to experience this ancient valley without interference from human settlement. As the park lies on both sides of the Luangwa river ,wildlife is able to follow its natural migrations undisturbed by fishing or hunting from humans. Because of the location of these two camps there are some regular sighting of mammal that may not be seen in other areas, like the Cookson’s wildebeest, eland and serval.

Set on the banks of the Mwamba River, a tributary of the Luangwa, the camp enjoys shady views of perennial water holes. The chalets are uniquely designed with two large skylights (protected by mosquito gauze) allowing you to experience sleeping safely ‘under the stars’ and have en-suite facilities. The three reed and thatch bungalows also have solar lighting, flush toilets and hot showers. The accommodation reflects a thoughtful balance between back-to-nature simplicity and essential comforts. The dining area is set under the deep shade of huge ebony trees.
At sunrise we set out on morning game-drives or walking safaris. Drives give un-paralleled close-up encounters with Luangwa’s big game and introduce the beauty of the river and lagoon systems. Walking safaris, conducted by fully qualified guide and armed scout, explore the majestic ebony forests, the open plains and the meandering river. All aspects of the bush are entertainingly explained. At noon we offer the additional trips to our two hides for close-up viewing of hippos, elephants and other game which are drawn to the river to drink. In the afternoon there is a game drive, followed by a sundowner drink in a picturesque spot and a night drive to see nocturnal wildlife. At Mwamba we concentrate more on exploring the bush by foot safaris. Therefore as well as the morning walks there is an option of an additional afternoon walk, usually followed by sundowner at the camp and a night drive.
