Overlooking the Luangwa River, close to the open plains and saltpan of the Luangwa’s Nsefu Sector, Tena Tena remains their flagship camp with just five luxurious tents ( sister- camp Nsefu is the same size, and Nkwali is only a little larger). It opens only from end- May to end- October. CONTACT www. robinpopesafaris. netRobin Pope Safaris
