Filmed in our Nsefu Sector (home to our camps Tena Tena, Luangwa Bush Camping and Nsefu); Kingdom is an extraordinary six-part wildlife series narrated by Sir David Attenborough. Shot over five years in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, it follows the dramatic lives of four iconic predators — leopards, lions, hyenas, and wild dogs — in the place where our story began nearly 40 years ago.

This project is especially close to our hearts. Filmed around our camps, we had the privilege of hosting the BBC crew throughout their journey. Working alongside filmmakers Will & Lianne Steenkamp (Leopard Legacy) and the Zambian Carnivore Programme, we’ve watched this incredible story unfold behind the scenes.

Fans will be thrilled to see the late leopard Olimba take centre stage once more, alongside Tenta’s Hyena Clan, Rita’s Lion Pride, and Storm’s Wild Dog Pack.

To celebrate, we’re launching our Nsefu Kingdom Safari — an exclusive journey through the landscapes that inspired the series. Departing 23 August 2026, this intimate six-person safari, led by Keyala “Kiki” Phiri, explores the heart of the Nsefu Sector, tracing the paths of Kingdom’s stars.

Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s most diverse and rewarding safari destinations, offering an exceptional blend of iconic landscapes and authentic wildlife experiences. Discover Mana Pools National Park, widely regarded as one of the continent’s premier safari destinations and home to John’s Camp. Explore Hwange National Park, home to over 40,000 elephants, one of the largest populations in Africa, or unwind at Lake Kariba, a fantastic destination for both game viewing and water-based activities, including renowned tiger fishing. Our Classic Zimbabwe Itinerary seamlessly connects these highlights, combining luxury and adventure with three complimentary domestic flights, making it the perfect way to experience the very best of Zimbabwe.

Our Mobile Walking Safaris offer one of the best wilderness experiences of the South Luangwa. Walking through the bush is a completely different experience to driving. All your senses are alert. Every sound, every movement – the flap of a bird’s wing, a tail swishing through the tall grass – acquires significance. This is where an expert guide really comes into his own. Not only will they point out wildlife and birdlife to you, but they will also teach you to hone and sharpen your senses and to spot the clues that lie around you in the bush.

Operated as scheduled set departure trips running from June to October, you are sure to get a date that aligns with your plans. The trips are set for small groups of maximum 6, keeping in line with personalised and exclusive experience as you explore the Luangwa.
