South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa's last truly wild places—a vast, remote wilderness where remarkable wildlife and local communities have coexisted for generations. Renowned for its exceptional game viewing, the Luangwa Valley is home to an extraordinary diversity of species and unforgettable safari experiences.
Set on the banks of the Luangwa River on a sweeping bend overlooking the National Park, Nkwali enjoys a spectacular location where elephants, hippos and even leopards are regularly seen from camp. Situated on Robin Pope Safaris' private land, guests enjoy exclusive access to a private game viewing area, as well as seamless entry into the park by boat or via the seasonal pontoon.
The six spacious thatched chalets combine classic safari style with understated comfort, featuring airy interiors, open-air en-suite bathrooms and private verandas with beautiful views across the Luangwa River.
With warm hospitality, exceptional guiding and an authentic safari atmosphere, Nkwali offers a timeless South Luangwa experience in one of Africa's most celebrated wilderness destinations.

Nestled within the exclusive Nsefu Sector, overlooking one of the Luangwa River's most beautiful bends where elephants regularly wade across the water, Nsefu Camp is the birthplace of Zambia's photographic safari. Built in 1951, it remains one of Africa's most historic safari camps, lovingly preserving its original character while offering the comforts expected by today's traveller.
The Nsefu Sector itself has a remarkable conservation legacy. Proclaimed a Game Reserve in 1966 - five years before South Luangwa National Park was officially gazetted - it has long been celebrated as one of the finest wildlife areas in Africa, renowned for exceptional game viewing, diverse habitats and prolific predator sightings. Robin Pope Safaris took over the camp in 1998, carefully restoring and upgrading it while retaining the timeless charm that makes Nsefu so unique.
Today, Nsefu welcomes just twelve guests in six spacious brick-and-thatch rondavels, each with en-suite facilities and uninterrupted views across the Luangwa River. From the privacy of your veranda, it is not uncommon to watch elephants crossing the river, hippos wallowing below and an ever-changing procession of wildlife passing by—arguably one of the most iconic views in South Luangwa.

The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa.
It is through this that the great meandering Luangwa river runs, with its ox bow lagoons, riverine supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds.
Luangwa River Camp sits nestled under an ancient ebony grove on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking the game rich area known as the Luangwa Wafwa.
This small and intimate camp with just five bush suites, along with its setting and location creates a real “wow” factor and a romantic feeling simply flows through the camp.
