**Note: During the Emerald Season when Tena Tena is closed all 4 nights in South Luangwa are at Nkwali
After breakfast around the camp fire, your safari will continue with another relaxing day at Nsefu, with morning and evening game activities. Depending on time of year an all day picnic drive covering different habitats comes highly recommended and is an exceptional day’s safari.
A day to explore the Tena Tena area fully -a chance to drive or walk through the ebony groves. Or you may decide this is an ideal day, depending on the heat and time of year, to explore further afield. Possibly a day tour to Kawaza village for a cultural experience or Tribal Textiles to get some insight on local industry plus a chance to buy some souvenirs.Nothing is set in stone and your days will be designed and planned with you bearing your interests in mind. You can mix and match activities to maximize your experience in this game rich and remote area of the Luangwa.
