| The walking safari area is one of the best riverine areas in the Luangwa. The river is rapidly changing course here and the resulting channels and lagoons host spectacular game.
The fly camping sites are situated in secluded areas of the Nsefu sector, and the fly camp is simple and "bush". The camp is already set up for your arrival with well-equipped walk-in tents. The shower is under a tree and the toilet is a long drop with a wooden throne
The safari starts at Tena Tena and ends at Nsefu Camp, where there is an option of drives or walks. |

| Start:
Scheduled flights: Mfuwe International Airport | Day 1 Tena Tena Camp South Luangwa National Park
You will be met on arrival at Mfuwe International Airport. The drive to Tena Tena takes approximately 1.5 hours but is in the most part a gamedrive through the GMA and into the Nsefu sector of the park. This remote and small camp lies within the National Park and enjoys a stunning location on a sweeping 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 riverbank. Tena has 5 tents, each with a dressing room, open air bathroom and private verandah that overlooks a water hole. Most meals are taken under the shade of a huge Mahogany tree in the centre of the camp. On arrival you will be shown to your tent and then depending on your time of arrival lunch will be served followed by a siesta or afternoon tea followed by the afternoon and evening game drive. | Day 2 Tena Tena Camp
At dawn breakfast is served around the campfire. This includes porridge heated on the fire and toast cooked by the coals. The morning walk or drive will leave soon after. The game in the area is excellent - and includes many family herds of elephants and the endemic species of giraffe, the Thornicroft Giraffe. A mid morning break of tea, coffee and cake will be taken by a scenic point on a lagoon or the Luangwa River . Return to camp for lunch around mid day. After lunch enjoy sitting on your veranda overlooking the lagoon or siesta. Tea will be served in the afternoon and then off on an afternoon game drive that continues into the early night giving the chance to see the nocturnal world. Usually one returns to camp about 20.00 hrs with dinner generally at 20.30. | Day 3 Fly Camp
Up at sunrise for breakfast and then the morning walk to the fly Camp. Situated in a secluded area of the Nsefu sector the camp is simple and 'bush'. The camp is already set up for your arrival with well-equipped walk-in tents. The shower is under a tree and the toilet is a long drop with a wooden throne. Enjoy a relaxing siesta after lunch, before tea and going for a walk around camp in the afternoon, or you may prefer to have a picnic lunch at a scenic spot arriving at camp for sundowners and dinner in the open under the stars! Your guide will discuss options with you before leaving Tena Tena - this is very flexible day. | Day 4 Nsefu camp
Following a relaxed breakfast you will walk out of camp and head towards Nsefu Camp, stopping for tea and cake along the way and arriving in time for lunch. The camp is on a sweeping bend of the river. 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. There are six round rondavals with luxurious en suite facilities and each room has a clear view of the river through large windows and from the new wooden verandahs. On arrival you will be shown to your rondavel and then lunch will be served followed by a well deserved siesta before the afternoon and evening game drive. | Day 5 Nsefu Camp
Being the last whole day in the Nsefu sector you may decide to drive or walk through the ebony groves or take the opportunity of visiting Kawaza village as an option to meet local people and experience life in an African village. If you wish to visit then it is best to mention this when booking your holiday or on arrival. | Day 6
