We had been to the "old" Tena Tena last year and while we loved our stay (the tent, the food, the guiding) we were disappointed that the camp was no longer overlooking the river (we love the sound of hippos!). We went to the "new" site of Tena Tena this month (we stayed there from Aug 14 for 3 nights)... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, and what a gem it was. Staff, guides, chef,cleaners EVERYONE - so very helpful and friendly. Our guide was Bertram, who was patient and done his best to find me lions (as this was the last leg of our trip and still hadn't seen any!). On our last game drive, he received a call... More

The attention to detail, depth of knowledge (Bertram, our guide, rocks) and setting on the South Luangwa make this such a fabulous camp. Next year the camp will be at a new stunning location with a view of the river, under mahogany trees. We have confidence it will be great, too. The variety of wildlife here is staggering. Night drives... More

My wife and I stayed at Tena Tena Camp for three nights june 06th – 09th 2010. The camp is located at a beautiful spot along the Luangwa River. It offers perfect accomodation in maybe the best - because most authentic – tents we’ve ever seen. Big tents with zippers instead of door frames like most other tents have with... More

I had just turned 18 when my parents took me and my brother on safari with them. It was a once in a lifetime treat for my mum's 50th and I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to go with them to such a brilliant place. It is so well hidden within the trees, it is a fantastic... More

We had an extremely enjoyable stay at Tena Tena and were looked after very well by Emma and the rest of the staff. Lovely tents with nice views over the lagoon. We watched warthogs, baboons and water birds from our porch between game drives. Enjoyable game drives with Nyambe, our excellent guide, although very quiet on the preditor front (but... More

Tena Tena is one of the best experiences ever!! If you love the bush and would like to have a fantastic safari, this place is a must. The tents are great, food is incredible (it can compete with any restaurant in Cape Town) and the park is as safari should be, as unspoiled as possible. I was born in Malawi... More

We had heard about the Robin Pope Camps as we toured Botswana one year, and then Namibia the next . . . people would pause, and then say "Ahh, then there is Tena Tena . . . " We could hardly wait, seeing their faces when they said 'Tena Tena'. The first time we booked with RPS, we went to... More
