"Tena Tena review"
More game and fewer other Land Cruisers game spotting. Greatly preferred than Luangwa River Camp." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia
"Tena Tena review"
Our guide Bertie was very good and so was his spotter Ken. We enjoyed the walking safaris, which enabled us to see the smaller species of animals and to get closer to some of the wildlife.
Nicholas, the host, dealt sensitively with an issue of another guest wanting to play music in the bar/restaurant area. However it may have helped if this had been specifically mentioned in the policies of the camp.
Again we had excellent sightings of animals, including a porcupine (twice) and a chameleon" See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia
"Tena Tena review"
I was very wary about walking safaris having had a bad experience some years ago, but the quality of the guide, Bertie, reassured me and I was pleased to overcome my trepidation and do 2 walks. Again animal sightings were excellent and again having just the 4 of us on the vehicle was a treat. The boat ride over to Tena Tena came as a surprise but added to the experience. All the staff were great and the food again top notch.
We were unfortunate to have some guests who wanted to play music at the bar area in the evening. I was asked by the guest in question if I objected and said I did. But really the staff should have managed this better. To be fair they said they had never had this happen before so were not really ready to deal with it.." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

Our guide Julias also remembered us from before and he was a great guy, excellent guide and lots of laughs on safari.
Service was good though we thought the food wasn’t quite as good as it might have been." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia
