Tena Tena Camp, SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK, Zambia
"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
Luangwa 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 the 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, you will have these scenes to yourself.
Ten Tena is only open for five months of the year, June through to October, and offers walking safaris, 4 x 4 Game drives and night drives.
LUANGWA VALLEY, which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It covers an area of over 9000 sq. km . through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game - including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo - and over 400 species of birds.
Tena Tena is operated and managed by Robin Pope who together with his wife Jo are considered to be the best safari operators in Africa. All their camps are intimate and highly personalised. Exceptional service has become the hallmark of all Robin's operations. Flexibility and responsiveness to guests wishes are key. The specialities of these safaris are:
WALKING - the only way to really discover the secrets of the bush. Walks are led by an experienced naturalist and accompanied by an armed game scout.
GAMEVIEWING
DRIVES - conducted in open, four-wheel drive
vehicles by knowledgable safari guides. Special
gameviewing seats provide excellent viewing and
opportunities for photography.
NIGHT DRIVES - set out in
the afternoon. Later, after watching the sun set over the
river with a 'sundowner' in hand, the drive continues
with a powerful spotlight. The nocturnal world of the
bush is witnessed from owls and genets to hunting lions
and the graceful leopard.
