Tena Tena Camp

The South Luangwa national Park marks the give up of the fantastic Rift Valley, one of the last closing unspoilt wilderness regions and possibly the best flora and fauna sanctuary in Africa - a claim which is not an overstatement. It is thru this 9050sq kilometer countrywide Park that the tremendous meandering Luangwa River runs, with its ox bow lagoons, tributaries, riverine supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to massive concentrations of recreation which include elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds. Situated in the specific Nsefu region Tena Tena sits nestled below a spectacular and thick grove of mahogany bushes. On a double tiered river bank each room enjoys its very own non-public view onto a protracted stretch of the Luangwa River. Tena Tena is synonymous with Robin Pope Safaris because it turned into the primary camp which Robin opened and ran and has become a favorite amongst many safari enthusiasts over the years. Tena Tena when translated approach “transient home” and that is the feeling that we've attempted to emulate throughout the camp however with a twist of luxurious and comfort. The six tents are very private with plenty of space among them and each with its personal window onto a dazzling stretch of the Luangwa River wherein the hippos wallow and the lions roam. The en-suite bathrooms are spacious and open to the elements, designed to copy nature with curved walls across the timber and simple subtle colours and a view from every facility. Each tent is in particular placed to maximise privateness both within the rooms, lavatories and at the verandahs with comfortable sitting areas and fantastic views onto the river. The principle location moulded around a large termite mound and mahogany tree with an old hippo run tailored into our direction among the one of a kind tiers is shaded by means of an vast tent strung up among leadwood poles. With lots of various seating areas there is space to relax and unwind whilst reflecting at the day's safari, earlier than sitting all the way down to a lovely dinner on the banks of the Luangwa, under the stars and taking part in the sounds of the African night time.
