General Information

GETTING THERE
The camp is accessible from Mfuwe Airport, a swift 40-minute flight on a charter plane. From there, a 15-minute drive in a sturdy 4×4 open vehicle will take you to the camp. Alternatively, arriving at the Mwanya (Lukuzi) airstrip offers a slightly shorter 30-minute flight via the same charter plane, followed by the 15-minute drive to the camp. For those with a taste for a more rugged experience, arriving directly at Mwaleshi airstrip takes you on a 15-minute drive in a 4×4 vehicle or a 4-hour walking safari.

WHEN TO TRAVEL:
The best time to visit the Luangwa Valley is during the dry season between May and October. All outlying water dries up and forces game to congregate around watering holes and rivers, while the vegetation starts to thin out, making it easier to spot wildlife. Tafika Camp, operating seasonally, welcomes guests from May to mid-November. The latter part of the dry season is especially warm and offers prime wildlife sighting opportunities.

Walking safaris
On foot guests are given the rare opportunity to become part of nature, to immerse themselves in the wonders that present themselves at every turn. A walking safari is always led by an experienced guide with an armed National Park scout and a tea bearer so their are many eyes ready to spot the Luangwa's wildlife, identify the smallest insect, track last night's lion spoor and identify a possible threat before it really becomes one. Children under the age of 12 are unfortunately not able to take part in walking safaris at Remote Africa Safaris.

Sleep outs
Sleep outs are for the more adventurous looking to become in tune with the wilderness of the Luangwa. After a buffet lunch and siesta in the camp, guests shower and prepare for their night out in the bush. Tea and cake is enjoyed in camp and then the group sets off on a short afternoon activity, at the end of which they arrive at the sleep-out location. This is usually on a wide open beach on the banks of the Mwaleshi river. Feast on a delicious dinner cooked over the flames of a raw wood fire out on a remote bend of the Mwaleshi river. Sip on a night cap around the fire before retiring to bed – a camper mattress on the ground tucked under a net leaving unobstructed views of the night’s sky. The safety of having an experienced guide and armed scout nearby ensures a sweet nights sleep while listening to the natural calls of the bush. The next morning, a light breakfast is enjoyed at dawn and then the group sets off for a morning walking activity back to camp. Sleep outs must be pre-booked as they are a ‘whole camp’ activity. They may be done at no additional cost.
