Nsefu Camp

The South Luangwa countrywide Park marks the stop of the incredible Rift Valley, one of the final final unspoilt wasteland areas and probably the best natural world sanctuary in Africa - a declare which isn't an overstatement. It is thru this 9050sq kilometer national Park that the wonderful meandering Luangwa River runs, with its ox bow lagoons, tributaries, riverine supported woodlands and big plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game which includes elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds. Situated within the one-of-a-kind Nsefu sector on a magnificent meander on the Luangwa River across which elephants frequently pass lies the historic camp Nsefu. Nsefu is one steeped in records and became built in 1951 and barring some enhancements the camp and rooms are nonetheless within the identical region within the original style. The Nsefu quarter was first mentioned a recreation reserve in 1966 a few 5 years before the South Luangwa was even declared and has constantly been acknowledged as an awesome sport-viewing area. Robin Pope Safaris took over Nsefu in 1998, spent a yr upgrading it and opened it the following July. The camp welcomes simply twelve guests in six original brick and thatch rondavels with en-suite centers, each room opening up to what can clearly be described because the excellent view within the South Luangwa. The six unique rondavels have been upgraded to encompass spacious en-suite toilets however we have tried very hard to hold the feel and fittings within the room in line with the unique “old skool” feel. Nothing can sum it up better than a visitor’s remark of “understated beauty”. Each room has a clear view of the river whether or not it be from the comfort of your bed or the chairs out at the verandah. From the dining room lunch may be enjoyed at the same time as watching big herds of elephants making their each day river crossing just upstream from camp. The bar and sitting area take a seat snugly among a big termite mound and lagoon, unobtrusive and cosy but making the most of the enormous flora and fauna that comes down to the lagoon to drink – lion and leopard also can be heard lapping away at the fresh water within the evenings. What might be higher than sitting in a comfortable armchair playing a delicious slice of cake whilst looking anything from Antelope to Zebra coming right down to drink. Nsefu Camp gives attraction, records, exclusivity and luxury.
