TENA TENA

South Luangwa National Park
The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa - a claim which is not an overstatement. The great meandering Luangwa River runs through the vast park playing host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds. Situated in the exclusive Nsefu Sector, the superb Tena Tena is sandwiched between the river and a complex lagoon system under a magnificent and thick grove of mahogany trees. The area is a magnet for wildlife and you do not need to go far for incredible sightings. On a double tiered river bank, each beautiful room enjoys its own private view onto a long stretch of the Luangwa River. The six tents are very private with plenty of space between them and each has its own window onto a magnificent stretch of the river where the hippos wallow and the lions roam. The spacious en-suite bathrooms are open to the elements with every amenity including heavy linen bathrobes. The main area is molded around a large termite mound and mahogany tree with an old hippo run..
