The Nsefu sector is abundant with 'Luangwa Wafwas' (literally 'dead Luangwas'). These are dried out
oxbow lakes that attract animals.
Nsefu has six rondavels originally built in the 1950's. Each rondavel has its own wooden veranda and
open-air bathroom.
There is a separate thatched dining area and sitting room, with a bar.

The next morning game drive, we came across a two-day old lion kill of a water buffalo and there were many vultures
These appear to be lappelfaced, cape and whitebacked vultures
