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 Nsefu overlooks the river and the wildlife was amazingly abundant. The food was good, a nice combination of local flair and european cuisine. I would have enjoyed a heavier committment to the local food, but this is hard to accomplish with consistant success though. Tea in the afternoon included elephants, giraffes, hippos and monkeys all within 100-150 yds, unblocked view!

Everyone is friendly, and the activities are well run. Staying with RPS includes the morning, afternoon and night drives or walks. They typically keep you with the same guide so you get to know them, and the guides are very well trained, many of them locals. You should absolutely do at least one walk. You'll see less large game wildlife, but it's a real thrill to be tracking, and not be limited to the vehicle.

We also did a two night bush camping (fly camping) with Debs Tittle. This is an absolute MUST. I would come back to Zambia just for this. Spending two nights with her is truly like being with a legend. She's got great stories, her knowledge of the history and wildlife is far superior to anything I've ever experience in any other wildlife guide. In fact, she's one of the primary people involved with training local guides. Bush camping with RPS and Tittle feels a bit like how it may have been in the old days. We have a tea porter, the tents are candle lit, throne toilet and bucket shower. Yet with the elegance of luxury. Really a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This was our honeymoon, they treated us right and we wish to go back.
