Accommodation Photos

Stay at Nsefu Camp

The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa – a claim which is not an overstatement. It is through this 9050sq kilometre National Park that the great meandering Luangwa River runs, with its ox bow lagoons, tributaries, riverine supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds.

Zambia’s first photographic safari camp; Nsefu lies in the heart of the undeveloped Nsefu sector of South Luangwa National

Park and so offers remoteness and seclusion. Each room has a clear view of the river. The bar, tucked in beside a huge extinct termite mound, overlooks a waterhole that is popular with game, especially leopard at night.

The view of the river is superb and includes a terraced area where game grazes during the day. The original rondavels have been extended, with a spacious bathroom added. Each room has a clear view of the river, through large windows and from the new wooden veranda.

Experiences

Boating Safari

Situated on a meander of the river, enjoy a seasonal safari cruising down the Luangwa, to see thirsty leopards or wallowing hippos.

Walking Safaris

Watch as elephants cross the Luangwa River in front of the lodge, or take a walking safari with an experienced guide around the Nsefu Sector.

Game Drives

Explore the Nsefu Sector on a Robin Pope safari drive to see some spectacular wildlife and wilderness, including the lions of the Luangwa or a bathing herd of elephants.

Birdwatching

The meander of the Luangwa River and the grove of trees encircling the camp provide a wonderful opportunity to spot some birdlife, from large wading birds to bright blue kingfishers.

Sundowners

Sip on a gin and tonic on the sandy banks of the river and watch as the sun sets on the Luangwa Valley to the sounds of chirping birds and lazy hippos.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
