Tena Tena was Robin's very first camp, and it seems to hold a special place in the heart of everyone who's come to stay over the years.
Lying in the remote Nsefu section of South Luangwa National park, Tena Tena sits nestled under a magnificent and thick grove of mahogany trees.
On a double tiered river bank each room enjoys its own private view onto a long stretch of the Luangwa River.
