Nsefu is a very special place, which is why we've returned to it in 2012. In some ways it's a shame it doesn't get more reviews, but both times we've been privileged to have the place to ourselves, so maybe that's not such a bad thing after all from our point of view. Nsefu during the wet is the most... More

Everything about this lodge was perfect and the afternoon show put on by the local wildlife while I sat on my porch with my feet up on the rope "railing" was almost as good as the game "drives" (which were taken by boat and, partially, on foot). At various times there were two elephants eating the bushes behind my chalet,... More

Nsefu was the final lodge in our trip to S Luangwa - and we had managed to save the best for last. The lodge is small - only six rooms - and we were the last guests of the wet season, so had the place to ourselves with the staff. We transferred by (large, covered) boat from Kakuli, and were...

The Luangwa Valley is a very special place to go on safari and Nsefu is an ideal lodge. Overlooking a bend of the Luangwa River you can often sit on your verandah and watch a family of elephants crossing. The chalets are all very understated, keeping that feeling of ‘bush’ whilst offering welcome comfort. The food is outstanding and the... More

During the wet season we reached Nsefu camp by boat. The camp is lovely. The rooms are small and round, but with great bathrooms. The front porch and bar are both great places to sit , relax, and watch hippo, elephant and impala. From Nsefu we did walking safaris - I was extraordinarily impressed with the professionalism of Jackson the... More

We were greeted with cool cloths unfortunately they stank of mildew. The woman greeting us had on a dirty skirt. There are traces of peanut in their sugar so if you're allergic don't even think of going there. There were ants crawling up the table and onto the bottom of the plates of food on the table. The food was... More

For our second safari in Africa, we chose to go to Zambia with Robin Pope Safaris. We chose to stay 2 nights at Nsefu, 2 nights on a bush walk camp with Debs Tittle, and 1 night in Kawaza village. We had a wonderful time at Nsefu - the game and diversity of scenery in the South Luangwa made it... More

We have become great Robin Pope Safaris fans. We stayed in Nkwali and Nsefu. We also stayed at the camp of another operator in the South Luangwa, and much preferred the warmth, personal touches and attention to detail of the Robin Pope camps. This may because ithey are still owned by Robin and Jo Pope. All the staff were engagng... More

We stayed here one night on our honeymoon. Circumstances were such that we couldn't spend more time, but after our first night we started a two night walking safari with Robin Pope Safari (RPS). We also stayed 4 nights at Tena Tena. Nsefu was hands down much more beautiful than Tena Tena, but both places were spectacular. The bar at... More

We spent 3 days at Nsefu and loved the view as well as the attentive guides The food and accom was very average for the price and we had stayed at another lodge in South Luangwa before going there and found the animals were far more in abundance than at Nsefu camp. It was a nice stay but if I... More
