Located in the heart of the South Luangwa National Park, Nsefu Camp consists of six en suite brick and thatch rondavels, each offering a view of the river from large windows and a wooden verandah.
Nsefu was the first photographic safari camp in Zambia, dating back to the early 1950s. The camp was re-opened in 1999, in keeping with its original style, and is one of only two in the Nsefu Sector of the park, which is still today a phenomenal area for wildlife. The original rondavels have been extended, and a spacious bathroom added, however the furnishings and fittings are in keeping with the old-fashioned feel and understated elegance.
The dining room overlooks the river at the spot where elephant come to drink and cross. Wildlife grazes on nearby a terraced area during the day, and tucked in beside a huge extinct termite mound, the bar and sitting room overlook a waterhole frequented by wallowing warthog and buffalo, and – especially – leopard at night. There is a hide overlooking the lagoon, where you can watch wildlife coming to the waterhole to drink.
