Toka
Leya Camp is hidden on the banks of the Zambezi River in the
western sector of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, about
12km upstream from Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural
Wonders of the World.
Overlooking the
mighty Zambezi River
and some of its
islands is Toka Leya
Camp, consisting of
12 spacious en-suite
safari-style tents.
Wooden walkways
snake between the
units and main area,
limiting our
footprint on this
pristine area.
Tent
interiors boast cool
wooden flooring,
tasteful,
uncluttered African
décor in earthy
hues,
climate-control for
a cool summer
sanctuary, expansive
wooden deck from
which to soak up the
views of the Zambezi
River, often to the
sights and sounds of
birds, elephant and
grunting pods of
hippo.The islands in
front of camp are
intriguing and form
part of the braided
channel of the
Zambezi River with
several rapids, a
main channel and
dense vegetation.
The
eastern side and
main area of camp is
under a shady canopy
of jackalberry,
knobthorn and
waterberry trees.
The western side is
in a more open
setting - an ancient
baobab tree is the
focal point and
panoramic Zambezi
vistas. Family units
are positioned to
offer quiet
seclusion.
The camp's dining, lounge and bar areas offer ample space for relaxation and are complemented by an infinity pool, with meals served on the sundeck, the pool deck and dining room all overlooking the Zambezi. The novel pizza oven is a great hit with our younger visitors! A curio shop exhibits a fine selection of local crafts.
Activities include a tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, game drives within Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, river cruises, fishing excursions and guided nature walks. Tours of Livingstone town and museum and visits to Mkuni Market and Simonga Village are all outstanding ways of learning about the people and culture of this part of Zambia. Other
activities
on offer in the area
at an additional
charge include
sunset cruises,
helicopter flights,
micro-lighting,
canoeing, jet
boating, and white
water rafting.
Game drives into the Mosi-oa-Tunya Park offer sightings of general game species such as buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and impala. There is rich birdlife here too, including several sought-after species such as African Finfoot, Half-collared Kingfisher, African Skimmer (seasonal), Schalow's Turaco and Rock Pratincole (seasonal). Good birding can be enjoyed within the confines of the camp itself, on boat cruises and out on game drives.
The Zambezi River offers some fishing opportunities and tiger fishing is an unforgettable challenge for keen fishermen, particularly during the warmer months (October - December). There are several varieties of bream (Tilapia) which are a good catch.
