2 nights Toka Leya Camp – Livingstone (Victoria Falls)
On the banks of the Zambezi River, Toka Leya is far enough from Livingstone to ensure a tranquil, authentic bush experience, yet close enough for guests to enjoy all the many activities in the greater Victoria Falls area. Toka Leya can be all about adrenaline, or an opportunity to relax and unwind before or after a safari.
Toka Leya has twelve luxurious tents (of which three are family tents). Each has a sumptuous outdoor bath, while the wellness centre with yoga and meditation options complements the serene surroundings. Boating and catch-and-release fishing excursions bring the Zambezi experience to life
3 nights Davison’s Camp – Hwange National Park
Friendly Davison’s Camp offers the most affordable way to enjoy a Hwange private concession experience. The shady camp with its adjacent waterhole attracts large numbers of animals, especially thirsty herds of elephant in the dry season. Guests can also learn more about – and even participate in – community projects on a visit to a neighbouring village.
Guests staying in one of Davison’s nine tents (including a family tent) can enjoy the quintessential Hwange experience, viewing the wildlife and meeting the people who make this area so special. Game drives and walks explore this diverse and exciting area.
3 nights Ruckomechi Camp Mana Pools National Park
Located in the legendary Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi enjoys incredible views across the Zambezi to the towering escarpment on the Zambian side of the river. Ana trees provide both shade and seed pods that are beloved of elephants, meaning that these charismatic creatures are never far away.
Guest accommodation consists of ten spacious en-suite tented units, including two family units, and open 4×4 vehicles, motorised pontoon boats, canoes and good old safari boots facilitate the wildlife viewing. The camp even features a secluded outdoor bath for a luxurious sensory experience. Ruckomechi is open throughout the dry (winter) season.
