overview

Located in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, Tena Tena is a tented safari bush camp overlooking a bend in the Luangwa River. The custom-made tents are sheltered by a grove of mahogany trees near to the Buca Buca Lagoon. Accommodating a maximum of 10 guests, Tena Tena assures an intimate and personalised stay.

The park hosts a wealth of African wildlife, including elephants, hippos and antelope, as well as 400 species of birds. Explore this remote reserve on guided walking safaris, and day and night game drives. For something more cultural, head to the nearby Kawaza village for the chance to learn more about the local way of life. Those wishing to relax in the camp can spend time at the thatched bar area that overlooks the river where animals and birds come to drink.

Traveller Reviews

  • Luca's birthday surprise was a champagne appetitive in front of the most amazing sunset we saw, shared with the staff and guests at Tena Tena. After that they baked a chocolate birthday cake that was a second surprise. Luca and I were deeply moved.

"This is the place to stay for good leopard sightings.....we were called from dinner by our guide and rushed to the back of my tent only to spot a leapard right there! The next day as we were driving out of camp, there he was again!"
