Twelve luxury safari tents with en-suite bathroom are scattered along the banks of the Zambezi River. The rooms are connected by walkways to the main building. The meals are served on the sundeck by the pool or in the restaurant. From everywhere, great views of the Zambezi River can be enjoyed.

Toka Leya is situated on the banks of the mighty Zambezi, just 12 km upstream form the famous Victoria Falls in the western sector of Zambia's Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. An adventure industry has grown up around Victoria Falls and Livingstone, offering every activity under the sun. Guests will not be bored!

Shumba Camp (lion's camp) is shaped like a horseshoe, with the main building taking central position and three rooms connected by high wooden walkways on either side. The rooms sit on high platforms and come with a large double bed, desk, en-suite facilities, double washbasin and outdoor shower.

The main building features a large terrace with fire pit where breakfast is served. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the Busanga Plains. The indoor area houses a bar, lounge and dining area with large glass windows leading out onto the deck.

Puku and red lechwe tend to gather in front of the camp as well as hippo during the flood season. Guests can loll in the hanging chairs and simply take in the spectacular surroundings. Lions regularly visit the camp, keeping everyone on their toes. Shumba Camp is most certainly one of the most beautiful camps in Kafue. Located just 15 minutes away, Busanga Bush Camp is suitable for those looking for a less luxurious bush experience.

Situated in the north of Kafue National Park and the very heart of the Busanga Plains, Shumba Camp is accessed by air from Lusaka or Livingstone, 1.5 and 2 hours flight time respectively. The open plains are not home to annoying tsetse flies, which are all too often found in the rest of Kafue National Park.

Kafue National Park covers an area of 22’400 km² which makes it one of the largest parks in Africa. The northern part of the park is home to the spectacular Busanga Plains, which flood during the wet season and gradually dry up again as October approaches. As the dry season progresses and the surrounding water holes dry up, more and more wildlife find their way onto the plains. Most camps open in May/June and close again in November when the rains arrive.

Built in 1989 by the Cumings family, Chiawa Camp was the first safari camp to be erected in Lower Zambezi National Park. The owner family has invested hugely in protecting wildlife and developing the park, and deserves every respect for their monumental effort. The camp has received numerous awards over the years for its excellent personal service, fantastic management and bespoke activities.

Chiawa offers eight tastefully designed en-suite rooms with views of the river. Nestled beneath shade-giving trees, each sits slightly elevated atop a wooden platform. The verandas invite guests to sit back and relax, disturbed only by the odd elephant strolling about to say hello. Room 9 (Safari Suite) differs from the others in that it offers more comfort and space and is situated a little way off atop a hillock with spectacular wide-reaching views of a dry valley and the nearby Zambezi River.

The two-storey main building consists of a lounge with bar, dining area, curio shop, pool with open fitness area and fire pit where breakfast is served. At Chiawa Camp, guests are not allowed to walk alone from their room to the main building during the day, as numerous elephants often roam the camp. Guests arrange pick-ups by radio.

Chiawa Camp is situated within Lower Zambezi National Park, which stretches 120 km along the Zambezi River and sits in the southeast of Zambia (4092 km²) opposite the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe.

The camp is accessed by air from Lusaka to Jeki Airstrip in 40 minutes. A 50-minute boat transfer takes guests to the camp.

Chiawa's sister camp, Old Mondoro, is located further east.

Chinzombo Camp brings levels of comfort, style and elegance previously unseen to the Luangwa Valley. Six spacious villas (150m2) – one of which is designed to accommodate a family of at least five are nestled within the shade of ancient trees in a wildlife rich area along the Luangwa River. Each villa has its own plunge pool and a large, bright terrace with a very comfy lounge. At Chionzombo guests truly get spoiled.

The spacious main building is equally stylish and includes a lounge corner, swimming pool, curio shop, an outdoor fireplace, bar and dining area. Here, guests don't eat together at a long table like in the classic bush camps. Chinzombo is more reminiscent of the Botswana camps in style and was built by the same architects who built some of the most famous Wilderness camps, including North Island in the Seychelles.

Chinzombo Camp is located outside South Luangwa National Park and can be reached from Mfuwe Airport in less than an hour. The access road turns left just before the main bridge to South Luangwa National Park and leads south along the river. The camp is located right on the edge of the river.

Guests cross the river by boat or by vehicle (if water levels permit) to access the National Park without having to cross Mfuwe main bridge. However, both sides of the river are equal when it comes to the abundance of wildlife they offer. Elephants cross the river all the time and know no park boundaries. In the morning some local fishermen may fish on the Luangwa, which is allowed here.

Mchenja Bush Camp is Norman Carr Safaris’ (current time + tide) most luxurious bush camp. „Mchenja" means ebony in the local language, matching the beautiful ebony forest which surrounds the camp.

Five wonderfully spacious, semicircular tents with characteristic thatched roofs and en-suite open-air bathrooms sit slightly elevated upon a rock floor. A canopy provides a sense of security, while the freestanding bathtub adds a touch of luxury – perfect after a multi-day walking safari. A wooden veranda allows guests to sit and watch the baboons at play as impala and bushbuck graze right in front of the tent. One of the rooms is a two bedroom/two bathroom family suite which is the perfect retreat for friends and families traveling together.

The main building comprises a bar, lounge area, dining table and a cosy and beautiful sitting area around the fireplace, where the day begins with breakfast in the morning and ends with a drink in the evening. Meals are often served under the open sky on the riverbank. At the far end of the camp there is a well maintained pool just be ready to share with the thirsty elephants!

Mchenja Bush Camp is situated on the banks of the Luangwa River in the northern part of South Luangwa National Park. Transfer time from Mfuwe Airport is approximately 2 hours.
