 | Tafika Camp | |
Tafika Camp in the South Luangwa National Park is the base camp of Remote Africa Safaris. It has been the home of John and Carol Coppinger since 1995 with a relaxed friendly atmosphere.
The wonderful vista of the Luangwa River sets Tafika apart. A maximum of twelve guests enjoy the comfort and beauty of six spacious chalets nestled in the shade of giant lead wood trees.
Facilities are en-suite with sparkling rainbows in the delightful outdoor showers!
Situated immediately outside the Nsefu Sector of the South Park,
Tafika offers microlight flights and mountain biking as optional extras to the excellent drives and walks of a routine day.
Mkasanga Village nearby welcomes guests interested in their culture and non-materialistic way of life in the warm heart of Africa.
Tafika Camp remains open for the excitement of the first rains in early November. The immense power of the early thunder storms and the sudden return to life of everything around is spectacular. Baby impalas begin to drop around the 5th of November, almost doubling the impala population over night; a time of rebirth.
