Chance to relax after walking Safari at Tena.
Again the the entire experience was great. The tent we occupied was terrific with a view of a watering hole that made terrific viewing of the coming and going of a great number of animals. As with the entire Robin Pope experience the staff, food and atmosphere was terrific.
Lots of diverse and wonderful views of a multitude of different wildlife.
Tena Tena review
Disappointment here is that camp overlooks a wide dry part of the river so there is no view of the animals drinking or of the river. We understand the camp is moving for next season.
Highlight at Tena Tena was leopard pinned up a tree by baboons in daylight. Night sightings of hyena and honey badger were also great to see. Lions and elephants also seen so overall game viewing was very good for us.
Bathroom areas overun with ants which needed regular Raid sprays to keep under control, just a hazard of the outdoor life really!
Tena Tena review
A fantastically run camp which provides a wonderful 'old style' safari experience.
Sadly, the course of the river has changed which meant that during our visit the view from the main camp was largely of a dry river bed and, in comparison with Nkwali and Nsefu, the location was therfore marginally less good. However, the view from the tents over a small lagoon to the rear more than compensated for this.
Due to erosion of the river bank we understand that the camp will be moving to a new location for the 2012 season.

A contrast with Nkwali as Tena Tena gives you a real sense that you are in the bush.
Much better without the electric fence, but disappointed that the camp no longer has a river view.
Tent zips were not great (often got stuck)
Nice touch to do the fizzy wine event in the bush
Lovely that the antelopes roamed throughout the camp
Tena Tena review
Just as high a standard as Nkwali. Bertram, the manager and Julius, our guide, were superb. The food was of restaruant quality and the atmosphere friendly.
Once again the guiding was world class, not just identifying the animals and birds but learning about their behaviour
Tena Tena review
Another great camp where we were made to feel very welcome and well cared for.
Our guides, especially Julius, were very good and were responsive to our hopes and interests going out of their way to give us the best possible time.
Our hostess, Lucy, was so very kind and considerate and she and the whole team could not have been better.
Tena Tena review
The game drives, both day-time and nocturnal, were particularly productive here with an excellent guide.
Tented rooms were comfortable and the food was excellent.
The location is not too attractive during the dry season as the bar/seating area looks onto a dried-up part of the river.

At dinner, lighting did not permit one to see what one was eating or who one was dining with. The lights were positioned so low on the table that each forkful of the meal came as a surprise and we had no idea who was sharing the table with us. It stuck us as being rather pretentious.
The seating arrangement restricted the no. of people one could converse with. Could we not have been arranged in a circle?
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
