Tafika Camp is situated on the banks of the Luangwa River, North of the Nsefu Sector of South Luangwa National Park. The remote location of Tafika makes it ideal for those who enjoy the serenity of the bush. Nestled in the shade of giant leadwood trees, the camp has a panorama of the river and its wildlife. Tafika can accommodate up to 14 guests in six thatched chalets (including a family chalet and honeymoon suite) with open-air en suite facilities, built around the trunks of stunning sausage trees. The food is excellent and is supplemented by a wonderful supply of home-grown fresh salad, fruit and vegetables. Tafika is the perfect tranquil base from which guests can enjoy walking safaris and game drives (day and night), during which the abundance of diverse game populations in the Nsefu sector ensure an unforgettable African safari.
Olimba Camp is tucked beneath expansive ebony trees with a spectacular view of the Luangwa river and a wildlife rich lagoon just a few hundred metres to the east of camp. Four chalets built from a combination of canvas, screed and thatch (including king and twin configuration flexibility) can accommodate up to 8 guests. For those looking for a more private safari experience, the camp may be booked out exclusively for groups of 6. The chalets are extremely comfortable with running water, solar power and ensuite facilities with an indoor and outdoor shower option open to the stars and views of the bush.
Chikoko Tree Camp and Big Lagoon Camp are the two intimate and exclusive bush camps which form Tafika Walking Trails, where authentic walking safaris are offered within a remote northern area of the South Luangwa National Park. Of all the stunning locations available in the Luangwa Valley, the well-known Norman Carr selected this area specifically to pioneer walking safaris. This is an excellent option for guests who enjoy a more active safari experience and an escape from the conventional game drive routine. One gets lost in the idyll of Africa on foot and the minutiae of the bush come to the fore; the smells, the essence of the macro world and the sense of timelessness.
Both camps are located on the opposite side of the river to parent camp Tafika. Depending on individual itineraries, transfers involve a short drive to the relevant river crossing following which guests explore a trackless wilderness, accompanied by an armed scout and guide, and arrive on foot at either Big Lagoon or Chikoko Camp. Luggage and supplies are portaged to camp along a separate route so guests may wish to keep personal items such as cameras, binoculars and sunscreen on them for the walk. Though the landscape is flat, paths can sometimes be uneven as they follow existing animal trails, so comfortable, lightweight walking shoes are recommended.
