Remote Africa Safaris' Cessna 210

Remote Africa Safaris are excited to announce the recent acquisition of a Cessna 210 aircraft.

We will now offer more affordable air transfers to our magical Mwaleshi Camp in the North Park. In addition, we hope more guests will benefit from the shorter and very comfortable 12 minute flight between Mfuwe and our Tafika airstrip, maximizing their safari experience with us.

A whole range of new routes and travel packages including Zambia’s far-flung, lesser known destinations like Bangweulu Swamps, Shiwa N’gandu and Kasanka are possible as day trips out of Tafika. This includes a 1hr30 air transfer between Tafika and the Lower Zambezi. Tafika guests can enjoy a morning game viewing outing, fly to Lower Zambezi for lunch, take an afternoon siesta and be ready for an afternoon drive from their Lower Zambezi camp.

The aircraft completed its first flight on Saturday, the 15th of June, with the opening of our Mwaleshi Camp in the North Luangwa National Park.

Gareth Broekhuizen will pilot the C210 initially, assisting us to set up RAS-AIR. He is an experienced and able commercial pilot who was previously charting the skies in Livingstone and Western Zambia.

We are delighted with our new plane and look forward to sharing it with our guests.

Chalet Thatching

Giraffe Observation

Remote Africa Safaris are gearing up to begin a new season.

John Chisoni, our exceptional staff foreman, has done a great job­ with overseeing chalet building this year and final touches to the thatching are underway. Keeping to our usual practice, chalets are built using natural materials and are refreshed with new golden grass every year.

Alex Phiri, senior walking guide, has been grading the game viewing routes to ensure a smooth ride for the 2013 season. On a drive yesterday to inspect their handiwork, we were delighted to find an abundance of animals all looking healthy and relaxed. An inquisitive giraffe took even more interest in us, suggesting that we are not the only ones excited to invite guests back to the valley.

Opening dates:

In the South Luangwa National Park, Tafika Camp opens on the 6^th of May, while the Chikoko Trails Camps (Chikoko River Camp and Crocodile River Camp) open on May 25^th. Mwaleshi Camp in the North Park opens in June.

Our November game viewing has been drastically “adjusted” as our roads have been turned to rivers. There is outlying water everywhere enticing the animals away from the Luangwa to less stressed vegetation. The park is greening up and stunning, with crystal clear air and rising river levels.

Roads to Rivers After Our First Downpour

Tafika game viewing outings have been a combination of walking and drives around camp, sighting honey badger, porcupine, lion, a variety of interesting snakes and mongoose, some excellent views of Pel’s fishing owl , five pearl spotted owlets in one tree, greater and lesser bush babies…. no leopard or wild dogs for a change. Bryan finally succeeded in making it to the salt pan on Tuesday the 6th – a fun filled, muddy adventure being rewarded by a warthog or two! Baby impalas have started to drop which is a high light.

Can you Determine The River Side Drive Crossing the Kavula, Now Draining the Inundated Mutanda Plain?

Transfers in and out of camp are by air at present via Tafika’s Mwanya airstrip. We are open for one more week. Our prediction…..Anything can happen! Nature rules – thank Heavens!

Air Transfers To and From Mfuwe Are the Only Option At Present!
