Remote Africa Safaris
Remote. That’s the all important word to describe the type of safari experience you will achieve with Remote Africa Safaris. The picture above is not staged. The only way to feel the power and beauty of the bush is to get out and walk. And there is no better place to do so than in Zambia’s North and South Luangwa National Parks.
Remote Africa Safaris owns and operates camps in each of the previously mentioned parks. Authentic camps with everything you need and everything you don’t. A safari is meant to be an experience, not a staycation inside an overdone safari tent. Remote Africa Safaris focuses on what makes a safari enjoyable and memorable. And they just happen to do so in some of the wildest areas of Zambia.
Tafika Camp
South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Tafika is located in the more remote northern region of South Luangwa National Park. The camp consists of only 6 spacious thatched chalets and sits on the east bank of the Luangwa River; the lifeblood of the region. The chalets are carefully constructed around the base of sausage trees with comfortable beds and an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower. The camp common areas are under the shaded canopies of giant leadwood trees. Overlooking the Luangwa River, Tafika will wow you with the wildness of the area and you will feel as if you are a part of the scenery and not just a visitor.
Your activities include incredible walking safaris and day and night game drives with no more than 4 people to a vehicle. A visit to the local village can also be arranged.
Nightly rates start at $495 per person
Chikoko Trails
South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Chikoko Trails actually consists of two camps; Chikoko Tree and Crocodile River Camps. These safari boots are made just for walking and that is what you will do since that is the only way to access these camps. The experience is focused on walking and feeling the heartbeat of the bush; awakening all of your senses to sights, smells, and sounds of a primordial landscape.
Chikoko Tree and Crocodile River accommodate only 6 guests at a time to ensure an intimate connection with the natural world. Part of your itinerary will be to walk between camps. Each camp offers a little something different, but both are in prime wildlife viewing areas. The picture below is from Chikoko Tree Camp and the raised thatched chalets. Crocodile River Camp has ground level chalets under beautiful canopies of ebony trees that produce a tasty fruit that attracts animals of all sizes.
Your activities are focused on walking and spending as much time out in the bush on foot before the heat of the day lulls the ush into siesta.
