Toka Leya Camp

Victoria Falls - Zambia

Days 1 - 2: Victoria Falls - Zambia

Toka Leya Camp Location Map

Overlooking the mighty Zambezi River and some of its islands, Toka Leya Camp is situated in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, just 12 km from the world famous Victoria Falls.

Toka Leya’s location on the banks of the Zambezi River and proximity to Victoria Falls ensures a variety of water and land-based safari and adventure activities.

Game drives into Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park offer sightings of general game species such as elephant, buffalo, giraffe and white rhino. There is also rich birdlife, including sought-after species such as half-collared kingfisher and Schalow’s turaco.

Whether a relaxing sunset cruise or a game viewing cruise, there are scenic views and exciting wildlife to be enjoyed from the comfort of a spacious boat. There's always an abundance of hippo and crocodile, as well as a few other surprises along the way.

Cultural visits to one of the nearby villages of Sinde or Simonga are respectful and insightful ways of learning about and interacting with the people and culture of this part of Zambia.

Twelve spacious en-suite safari-style tents (including 3 family tents) with expansive decks soak up the dramatic views and active wildlife. Wooden walkways snake between the units and main area, limiting our footprint on this pristine area.

The camp’s dining, lounge and bar areas offer ample space for relaxation and are complemented by an infinity pool, with meals served on the sundeck, the pool deck and dining room all overlooking the Zambezi. The novel pizza oven is a great hit with younger visitors!

King's Pool Camp

Linyanti

Days 3 - 5: Linyanti

King's Pool Camp Location Map

King's Pool Camp is located in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, a vast private concession in the northern part of Botswana, on the western boundary of Chobe National Park. The accommodation here is luxurious, the wildlife spectacular. The camp overlooks the Linyanti River and the oxbow-shaped Kings Pool Lagoon, apparently named after a Scandinavian monarch who spent a number of nights camping out on the banks of the lagoon, long before any camp was built here.

The Linyanti area has a large wildlife resource with a wide variety of species, but it is most noted for its very large elephant population, which can reach enormous densities during the dry winter months. Other game is abundant, such as impala, lechwe, kudu, zebra, giraffe, buffalo and bushbuck, and their predators: lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyaena. Rarer species such as sable and roan antelope emerge from the woodlands during the dry season.

Activities include day and night game drives and walks, while boat cruises along the Linyanti River (water levels allowing) offer spectacular viewing. The reed and papyrus swamps are ideal for numerous and diverse species of birds and are a magnet for game in the dry winter months. Scenic helicopter flights can also be arranged, offering a truly unique way to experience the wonders of the Linyanti. There are also two hides in the vicinity of the camp from which to view and photograph animals and birds.

Seven well-appointed tents of canvas and thatch each have a large bedroom area, lounge, private plunge pool and 'sala'. The spacious en-suite bathrooms are tiled with double showers and hand-basins as well as an outdoor shower for those who wish to shower close to nature!

In addition, there is the King's Pool Suite which consists of 2 separate en-suite rooms (one room is slightly smaller than the other) which share a private plunge pool and an outdoor sunken lounge - an ideal choice for families of for parties of 4 adults travelling together - or even for a couple preferring more space.

Raised walkways allow animals to wander freely through the camp to and from the water. The lounge, dining room and pub areas are on expansive raised decks and there is a pool and an open-air 'kgotla' for dining under the stars.

Mombo Camp

Okavango Delta

Days 6 - 8: Okavango Delta

Mombo Camp Location Map

Built under large, shady trees and overlooking floodplains which teem with wildlife all year round, Mombo Camp has arguably some of the best big game viewing in Africa.

Located in the Mombo Concession on Chief's Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, the sheer numbers and variety of wildlife all year round defy description. This is the Africa only seen in documentaries - from elephant to buffalo to tiny steenbok, and where vast herds of herbivores are trailed by numerous predators on the hunt.

Activities at Mombo Camp include morning and afternoon game drives (night drives are not permitted). Open 4x4 vehicles seating just 4 guests provide an exquisite vantage for viewing the high concentrations of plains game and all the predators. Lion sightings are frequent, and guests may also see leopard, spotted hyena, cheetah, wild dogs, large herds of buffalo, elephant, white rhino, southern giraffe, blue wildebeest and Burchell's zebra.

The best game viewing experience, however, sometimes can start on the main viewing deck at the camp itself, as unbelievable concentrations of game occurs right in front of the camp. Guests can also absorb the spectacular views from the dining room, bar, sitting area or the inviting plunge pool. Delicious meals are served under the stars.

The camp has 8 elegant and spacious tents (one of which is a family tent) raised a couple of meters from the ground, all with sweeping views over the floodplain. The tent's sitting room, separate bedroom and bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers and bathtub with copper and brass fittings all contribute to a truly luxurious feel. Each tent is connected by a raised wooden walkway.

Guests can get their exercise for the day (complete with unbeatable bush views) in the gym or pool, or enjoy a more relaxing time being pampered by one of the expert massage therapists in the comfort of your room or private deck.

Abu Camp Location Map

Abu Camp, set in a pristine pocket of riverine forest, is situated in a vast private reserve of 180,000 hectares in the heart of the Okavango Delta, on the edge of a large lagoon with a resident school of hippo.

The essence of the Abu Camp experience is exploring the unspoiled wilderness of the Delta. The Abu Private Reserve varies from open grasslands to secluded island sanctuaries, and papyrus-fringed channels. This variety of natural habitats allows for an abundance of wildlife.

Other iconic Okavango species regularly sighted include elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, impala, tsessebe, red lechwe, warthog, giraffe, and zebra. The birding around Widerness Abu Camp is spectacular, and particularly exciting species may include malachite kingfisher, white-browed coucal, pied kingfisher, rufous-bellied heron, and southern ground hornbill.

The camp offers morning and afternoon game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, and guests can also walk in the bush (season and subject to the availability of a qualified walking guide) with an experienced guide which is one of the most exciting ways of viewing game, as well as appreciating the flora and the smaller mammals and insects. During the seasonal floods of the Okavango Delta, guests are invited to take to the waters in the mokoros, the traditional poled craft used in the Okavango Delta.

Abu’s 6 luxurious, explorer-style tents blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings. Each has a tree-shaded deck with a private plunge pool overlooking a lagoon.

Well-lit pathways link the tents with the main lounge and dining area. There is also a well-stocked library and study, and a small gym for the energetic.
