Remote Africa Safaris operates 3 camps in the region - Tafika Camp, Chikoko Trails & Mwaleshi Camp

Tafika Camp

Tafika Camp in the South Luangwa National Park is our base camp, nestled in the shade of giant lead wood trees. We accommodate 10 guests in 5 spacious chaletsconstructed with local materials each with 2 double beds, en suite toilet and power shower.

This is the home of John and Carol Coppinger, giving the camp a relaxed family atmosphere. Situated just outside the Nsefu Sector of the South Park, Tafika is able to offer micro lighting as an optional extra to the excellent drives and walks of the routine day. Our staff is mostly from Mkasanga Village nearby and welcome visits from guests fascinated by their unmaterialistic way of life in this warm heart of Africa.

Tafika camp affords guests the opportunity of river safaris with boating, canoeing, exceptional bird watching and breath taking scenes of the Luangwa in full flood - an awesome blend of rich greens, lagoons filled with hippo and flooded channels overhung with groves of ebony trees.

Chikoko Trails

Chikoko Trails operates slightly upstream of Tafika on the opposite bank of the Luangwa in a wilderness area of great natural beauty teeming with big game. It was here that David Livingstone made his famous statement and little has changed since then. All luggage and supplies are portaged into the camps, as there are no roads.

Accommodation is in two bush camps each with 3 double chalets: maximum 6 guests. Each chalet with en suite facilities.

The walking trails are between Chikoko and Crocodile Camps, both simple camps constructed of thatch overlooking plains of game and all the action of a day in the wild. Chikoko rooms are 3m above the ground to perfect the view during your afternoon siesta.

Mwaleshi Camp

Mwaleshi Camp situated in the North Luangwa National Park, is a Grass pole bush camp with 4 double chalets. En suite facilities. The camp blends into a scenic bend of the Mwaleshi River, a clear perennial tributary of the Luangwa River. The remoteness of the North Park, an area legendary for its large population of lion, huge herds of buffalo and endemic Cookson's Wildebeest, is enhanced by the lack of roads. Game viewing is on foot.

Activities at the camps include:

Walking Safaris, Game drives, Nocturnal Safaris, River Safaris, Cultural Visits, Micro Light Flights
