Upon arrival into Maun, after completing immigration and customs formalities, collect your baggage and proceed to the Arrivals Hall.  Here you will be met by an Wilderness Safaris representative and assisted to your scheduled charter flight to Seba Camp where you will stay for two nights.

Enjoy two full days of game activities. The Seba Camp area is known for its large elephant population. In addition, unlike the permanently inundated areas of the Okavango Delta, the habitats around Seba Camp vary greatly, allowing for an abundance of general game viewing, including giraffe, zebra, antelope such as impala, tsessebe, lechwe and wildebeest, and buffalo and warthog. Leopard are common, and hyaena and African wild dog are also regularly seen, while a number of lion have moved into the area, and can sometimes be heard roaring at night. The birding around camp is exceptional. Particularly exciting species include: malachite kingfisher, white-browed coucal, Luapula cisticola, pied kingfisher, rufous-bellied heron and great egret.

With a splendid diversity of habitat there are a multitude of species to encounter during morning, afternoon and evening game drives in open Land Rovers. The variety and numbers of animal and bird species allows us insights into some fascinating behavior and compelling interactions. Exploring the concession by night yields fascinating sights of nocturnal animals including predators who often hunt under cover of darkness, from hyaena to owls.

Glide silently through pristine waterways of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro (traditional-style dugout canoe) to gain a unique perspective on the diversity of life both big and small in this fascinating ecosystem. Water-level dependent, boating is another idyllic form of water wildlife viewing.

On request and dependent on the availability of a walking guide, nature walks with skilled, armed guides are a wonderful way of getting close to nature and observing the smaller things not always seen when traveling by vehicle.

Fishing is on offer seasonally on a catch-and-release basis. (Basic equipment is available at camp.)

Entertaining activities for children are led by dedicated staff encourage them to learn about and fall in love with wildlife and nature (of course adults can join in too!). These include basic photography and catch-and-release fishing for older children, while our younger guests can paint with natural bush powder-paints or make a scrapbook.

After a morning activity and breakfast, at a time to be advised by camp management, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled charter to Kasane.  On arrival, you will be met by a Wilderness Safaris representative for your private road transfer to Toka Leya Camp where you will stay for two nights. Arrive in time for lunch.

Overlooking the mighty Zambezi River and some of its islands, Toka Leya Camp is splendidly situated in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Twelve spacious en-suite safari-style tents (including three family tents) with expansive decks soak up the dramatic views and active wildlife. Wooden walkways snake between the units and main area, limiting our footprint on this pristine area.  The camp’s generous dining, lounge and bar areas offer scenic relaxation and are complemented by an infinity pool, a sundeck for sumptuous meals and a convivial fire pit for night-time gatherings. The novel pizza oven is a great hit with all our guests, especially the younger ones!

Enjoy one full day of activities at Toka Leya.

While Toka Leya’s location on the banks of the Zambezi River and proximity to Victoria Falls ensures a variety of exciting activities – including water- and land-based safaris and adventure pursuits – rest and relaxation is also a well-defined pastime here.

The Wellness Centre is a haven of tranquillity with a variety of spa treatments, such as massages, facials and nail care, while the gym and its panoramic deck is the ideal spot to practice inspired yoga or pilates.

A World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls straddles the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia and is the most expansive curtain of water in the world. View its roaring waters, spectacular spray and a small rainforest that clings to the Falls’ edge, with a variety of mammals and birds. *A tour on the Zambian side is included in your stay; the view from the Zimbabwean side is at extra cost.

Game drives into Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park offer sightings of general game species such as elephant, buffalo, giraffe and white rhino. There is also rich birdlife, including sought-after species such as half-collared kingfisher and Schalow’s turaco.

Whether a relaxing sunset cruise or a game viewing cruise, there are scenic views and exciting wildlife to be enjoyed from the comfort of a spacious boat. There’s always an abundance of hippo and crocodile, as well as a few other surprises along the way.

Cultural visits to one of the nearby villages are respectful and insightful ways of learning about and interacting with the people and culture of this part of Zambia. The visit includes seeing one of the schools, a homestead and the village store. Guest donations have assisted with projects that focus on schooling and income-generating activities, ensuring that the community benefits from tourism in the area.

Tracking rhino at Toka Leya is an exciting way of getting up close and personal with these Endangered animals. Department of National Parks and Wildlife (previously ZAWA) scouts monitor the rhino 24 hours a day and therefore the animals’ whereabouts are always known. Travel to the location by vehicle and then track the rhino on foot, accompanied by the scout. *Subject to availability of a ZAWA Scout and on request

Catch-and-release fishing*: The Zambezi River hosts several varieties of bream (Tilapia) which are a good catch. Tiger fishing is an unforgettable challenge for keen fishermen, particularly during the warmer months (October – December). *Please note that a nominal park fee is applicable.

Toka Leya’s back-of-house tour enables guests to gain an understanding of the camp’s eco-friendly initiatives. Energy saving is explained as well as how waste water is reused in the camp nursery which was established to rehabilitate the area. The camp’s worm farm not only assists in the degradation of organic waste but is the perfect fertiliser for the indigenous trees in the nursery – which are then planted in areas where they once grew.

Visit the local museum, markets and shops to get a glimpse of historic and modern Livingstone town. Guests may also visit the local village and school to learn about the people and culture of this part of Zambia.

Other activities on offer in the area include sunset cruises, helicopter flights, canoeing, jet boating and white water rafting.*These activities are at extra cost.

1:00 PM: After a morning enjoying camp, you will be met by a Wilderness Safaris representative and transferred to the airport. After clearing customs & immigration, you will be met & assisted for your scheduled charter to Davison’s Camp where you will stay for three nights. 

Enjoy two full days at camp.

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest and most popular national park; our private concession means that sightings of the prolific wildlife are exclusive and private.

Game drives
Game drives take place in open open 4×4 vehicles and are led by our highly experienced guides through our private Wilderness Safaris concessions which are situated in the most productive area of Hwange National Park. The varied habitats and vegetation types as well as countless waterholes mean that drives are exciting with diverse species to be seen.

Morning walking safaris
Hwange was proclaimed some 80 years ago and has served as a haven for one of the densest concentrations of game in Africa. There is no better way to experience this park than on foot with an experienced, qualified walking safari guide.

Evening drives
The Hwange ‘night act’ includes nocturnal species such as lesser bushbaby, spotted hyaena, leopard, lion, Selous mongoose, pangolin, caracal, porcupine, scrub hare, springhare and even honey badger.

Village Visits
An authentic village experience takes place in a manner that is respectful to all parties. The experience is usually around four hours, with game drives to and from the village, and guided by one of the local villagers or a Wilderness guide. It often includes a guided tour of the school, meeting the headman or headwoman and enjoying cultural exchanges with the villagers.

After a morning activity and breakfast you will be transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled charter to Ruckomechi Camp where you will stay for four nights. Arrive in time for lunch and an afternoon game activity.

Enjoy two full days of activities. Situated on the western boundary of the iconic Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi Camp is a photographer’s paradise, whether in a vehicle, on a boat or on foot.

Game drives early in the morning or late afternoon take place in open Land Rovers and are done in the private concession as well as the National Park, accessing a diversity of habitats, and therefore a wide range of wildlife.

Boat cruises down this stretch of the Zambezi River are in nine-seater pontoons or in a six-seater speed boat. Canoes are a more adventurous option to see the large numbers of waterbirds and other wildlife that are attracted to the river and seasonal pans.

Mana Pools National Park is a remote, beautiful place that is best experienced on foot on a nature walk, led by a professional guide. This thrilling way of exploring the surrounding bush often heralds many exciting sightings.

You can also participate in catch and release fishing. Bream (tilapia), barbel (catfish) and tigerfish are the some of the more common fish found at Mana Pools. Keen fishermen are encouraged to bring their own equipment because the camp only carries basic fishing tackle (subject to availability of boats and is at an additional cost, per boat per hour payable direct).

There is no better way of falling asleep than being serenaded by the sounds of nature while you gaze up at the starry skies of Africa. Our romantic Star Bed is situated near a productive waterhole.

The multiplicity of birdlife in the area includes three-banded courser, western banded snake-eagle, Arnot’s chat, green-capped eremomela, African golden oriole, Lilian’s lovebird, Böhm’s spinetail and Meve’s starling.

After an early breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your 9:00 scheduled charter to the Harare airport; connect here with your departure flight. Return home, taking with you the sights, sounds, and memories of an incredible family vacation!
