Continuing on our adventure, we’ll transfer by boat to Nsefu Camp, in the remote and wild Nsefu sector of the National Park. You’ll stay 3 nights at Zambia’s first-ever safari camp steeped in romantic nostalgia and history.

The rondavel-style chalets are set directly on the Luangwa River in a remote area few get to visit, famous for its teeming wildlife and classic, elegant style. The Luangwa river spreads far beyond its banks here, lending an other-worldy feeling to this incredible place, and all excursions are by boat or on walking safaris.

Imagine yourself sipping sundowners while floating through the flooded ebony forest as the fiery sun plays upon the sky while elephants, hippos and lions keep you company. The truly gorgeous yellow-billed storks, dressed in their pink breeding plumage, have a famous colony in the trees here, and are a highlight on your boat excursions. Nsefu Camp is the ONLY camp open in this area during the Emerald Season. Lucky us!

This morning you will transfer to Robin Pope’s Nkwali Camp! Spectacularly set on the banks of the Luangwa River, intimate and authentic, Nkwali Camp offers understated elegance, seclusion and superb service in the heart of the Luangwa Valley. The six spacious chalets offer wonderful river views and include ensuite bathrooms with double sinks and hot showers to ensure comfort in the wild.

Activities from Nkwali Camp include day and evening game drives or walking safaris that begin with a short boat ride across the Luangwa River into the park.   There’s even a lovely lagoon-side pool to kick back and relax in~ because there are no fences, the wildlife show will go on even while in camp!  Nkwali Camp is also a great base from which to explore the town of Mfuwe and pick up a few treasures along the way.
