“The magic of Tena Tena is undeniable. From the warm hospitality to the mesmerizing views, it’s a place that stays with you long after you’ve left.”
– David T.
Nestled within the remote wilderness of the Nsefu Sector in the renowned South Luangwa National Park, Zambia lies Tena Tena Camp, our flagship camp which opened at our inception in 1986! Tena Tena ” translates to “temporary home” in a local Zambian language, and while it does live up to its name, because we dismantle and reconstruct the camp annually, that’s the extent of its impermanence…
Because when it comes to our guests, Tena Tena is a permanent sanctuary, etched into their hearts forever. Its remote setting and exceptional hospitality and guiding make it a firm favourite among guests, many of whom return time and time again to relive the magic of this authentic safari camp: Watch and discover why!
Tena Tena also holds a permanent place in the heart of Bertrame ‘Bertie’ Njobvu, head guide & manager, who has clocked over a decade at the camp, and considers it his second home. His journey with Tena Tena commenced in 2006, which coincidentally marked the beginning of his career as a guide, and the rest is history. Alongside a dedicated team, many of whom have equally extensive tenures or longer, Bertie ensures that every guest’s stay exceeds expectations, promising nothing short of a truly spectacular experience.
