NSEFU, SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK

Located in the exclusive Nsefu area of South Luangwa National Park

AFRICA’S GREATEST WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES

The very first safari camp to open in Zambia, Nsefu holds a prime position in one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries.

Make Nsefu a feature on your tailor-made itinerary to Zambia and you’ll discover you simply couldn’t ask for a better location. Sitting on a bend of the mighty Luangwa River, Nsefu is one of only two camps located within the Nsefu sector – an exclusive area renowned for its richness of game. There is the opportunity for day and night game drives, walking safaris and boat rides, but you don’t even have to leave camp to encounter the region’s wildlife. The bar overlooks a waterhole and offers a cosy spot from which to observe a variety of species – from lions to zebra – that frequently come down to the lagoon to drink.

The camp has a long history dating back to 1951 when it became Zambia’s first ever safari camp, and though it has since been beautifully refurbished it retains much of its original style. The six original thatch and brick rondavels today are stylish with modern amenities and uninterrupted views over the river. The dining room also boasts beautiful water views, where you can enjoy watching herds of elephants make their daily river crossings.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”

Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
