About Tena Tena

Close Panel

Run by Robin Pope Safaris, this remote tented camp lies within the Nsefu Sector of the National Park and enjoys a stunning location on a wide bend of the Luangwa River, perfect for sundowners.

A grove of mahogany trees shade the large custom-made tents and open air bathrooms. From the large canvas covered lounge and bar, guests can watch the elephants, hippo and antelope on the river banks. There is a large wooden deck often used to serve meals overlooking a 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, the camp has these views to themselves. A maximum of 10 guests are accommodated in large en-suite rooms.

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
	£50 to £150
	£150 to £300
	£300 to £500
	£500 to £800
	Over £800

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.

Tena Tena has a reputation for being one of Africa's best safari camps - but in recent years there have been a few strong contendors! The location of Tena Tena is lovely but I felt it strange that the rooms opened up onto the 'back' of the camp, not the river front and also that the camp has a fence round it. I understand the thinking behind it, but for me it spoils the whole experience of being 'in the bush'. I works well as the start or end of a walking safari.
