Mfuwe Internatonal Airport to Tafika Camp
Safari without crowds! Upon arrival at Mfuwe International Airport, you'll be met and transferred to Tafika Camp (a 2-hour drive). It is also possible to fly to Mwanya/Lukuzi airstrip (extra cost).
Tafika Camp is seasonal luxury camp situated on the banks of the Luangwa River, on the border of the South Luangwa National Park, adjacent to the Nsefu Sector which is considered to be the most beautiful section of the park. With only six beautifully crafted reed and thatch chalets, Tafika is an intimate, remote eco-camp where you can shrug off all the cares of modern life and get back to nature. The food is excellent with fresh produce supplied from the camp's own garden. With an abundance of wildlife and some of Zambia's most experienced guides, Tafika Camp will offer you a remote and unforgettable safari. You'll seldom see other vehicles while out on your game drives. The camp's safari vehicles accommodate no more than four guests, providing an intimate and exclusive safari experience.

On safari at Tafika Camp
We spend 4 nights at Tafika Camp, situated near the beautiful Nsefu sector of South Luangwa. Tafika offers a range of safari activities, including game drives, walking safaris, cycling safaris (guided 1.5 hour mountain bike safari rides), night drives, and even microlight flights (extra cost).
A typical day at Tafika starts with an early morning breakfast on the banks of the Luangwa river around the camp fire, before embarking on your morning game drive or walking safari with a stop for morning tea. Return to camp for a delicious buffet lunch.
After high tea, embark on the afternoon game drive, with a stop for sundowner drinks and snacks. After dark, we continue with a spotlight to see nocturnal animals in action. Alternatively, you can go on a guided mountain bike safari and then join the evening game drive. Another option is a cultural visit to a local village before joining the evening game drive. The day ends with a wonderful 3-course dinner served beneath the stars.

On safari at Mwaleshi Camp
You'll transfer by road to Mwabya/Lukuzi Airstrip to board a charter aircraft for your flight to Mwaleshi Camp, set on a scenic bend of the Mwaleshi River in the wildlife paradise of North Luangwa National Park.
Mwaleshi Camp is known as a special and remarkable place, set in a pristine wilderness area where there are very few roads. Most of the game-viewing activities are done on foot to really experience this remote area in all its glory. There are only four thatched chalets at Mwaleshi, each built entirely from natural materials with an open-air, en-suite bathroom. Each unit overlooks the river. Camp life is comfortable yet refreshingly simple.
There are vast herds of buffalo and many lions in the area. Enjoy early morning bush walks with a qualified guide. These walks are tailored to the group's abilities. Time and conditions permitting, we may also be able to do a day trip to the scenic Mwaleshi Falls.
Enjoy an authentic African safari at Mwaleshi, far from the crowds.
