Arrival in Mfuwe

Sabali is unfenced, and animals are frequent visitors, strolling through the camp unhindered. If you arrive in camp on time, you can join the afternoon/evening game drive. Camp Sabali is nestled back in the bush on a seasonal island near the confluence of the Luangwa and the Lupande rivers, on a beautiful site with abundant bird and wildlife. Our Eco Safari lodge offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With high standards of cuisine, service, and guiding, we provide just six luxury tents, all with en suite bathrooms, each located at a thoughtful distance apart for privacy.

Day 4

Nseufu sector

NB- Day trip may not be available in green season subject to access of roads. You'll have an early rise for a light snack and hot coffee, set out for your full day trip with picnic lunch into the Nsefu sector. The Nsefu Sector is one of South Luangwa National Park’s most remote and rewarding safari areas, lying north of the main Mfuwe region along the Luangwa River. Known for its beautiful riverine landscapes, oxbow lagoons and wide open plains, Nsefu offers excellent wildlife viewing with fewer vehicles and a wonderfully wild atmosphere. The area is particularly renowned for lions, leopards, elephants, large herds of buffalo and superb birdlife, including spectacular gatherings of southern carmine bee-eaters during the breeding season. With a long safari history and some wonderfully traditional bush camps, Nsefu is ideal for travellers looking for an authentic and less-crowded South Luangwa experience.
