About Tena Tena

South Luangwa National Park, at the southern end of Africa's Great Rift Valley, is widely regarded as one of the continent's finest wildlife destinations. Shaped by the meandering Luangwa River, its oxbow lagoons, riverine forests and open plains support remarkable concentrations of wildlife, including elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, giraffe, hippo and more than 450 bird species.

Nestled beneath a magnificent grove of mahogany trees in the exclusive Nsefu Sector, Tena Tena enjoys a privileged riverside setting where each spacious safari tent offers privacy and uninterrupted views of the Luangwa River.

As the first camp established by Robin Pope, Tena Tena has become an icon of South Luangwa and remains true to its pioneering heritage. Renowned for exceptional guiding, legendary walking safaris and warm, personalised hospitality, the camp offers an intimate safari experience where guests can immerse themselves in one of Africa's last great wilderness areas while enjoying the timeless charm of a classic Zambian safari.
