Livingstone and Victoria Falls, Zambia
Wilderness Toka Leya Camp
A luxury riverside safari camp in Zambia's Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park
Luxurious tented suites with views over the Zambezi River
In the eastern sector of the Mosi Oa Tunya National Park and about 12 kilometres from Victoria Falls, Wilderness Toka Leya gets immediate and fantastic views over the Zambezi River, and taking advantage of these are its twelve tented rooms.
Each comes with a large decking area at the front leading out from large glass sliding doors, behind which is your large stylish open plan lounge area and bedroom.
The camp’s main area is situated on a large decking area, and underneath a canopy of trees right beside the main channel of the Zambezi River. Perfect for atmospheric campfires on the bank and spotting the resident wildlife.
Here there is also a very spacious open-plan lounge and dining room, set beneath an enormous canvas roof and with open sides to maximise the views. The wall at the back of the living area is a really great feature; it’s made of “log tiles”, which gives the room a very natural feel.
Each tent has its very own solar panel, water geyser and batteries in keeping with the camp’s aim to lessen its environmental footprint.
The impact of your stay:
- The Zambezi River, spanning over 2,500km, serves as a vital lifeline for Angola, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna. Nestled on its banks, Wilderness Toka Leya is a temporary structure constructed on raised wooden decks to minimise disruption to the surrounding nature. Committed to conservation, the lodge actively works on rehabilitating riverine woodland and implements energy-saving, recycling, and upcycling processes to reduce environmental impact.
- Toka Leya is part of the Wilderness portfolio, Jacada’s parent company and a purpose-driven enterprise focused on conservation projects across Africa. Your stay contributes to preserving and protecting over 2.3 million hectares of wilderness, with plans to expand to over 5 million hectares by 2030 in alignment with UN climate goals. In the Zambezi region alone, they currently conserve over 10,3230 hectares.
- Through their non-profit, Children in the Wilderness, they’ve conducted environmental education and literacy programs in the Zambezi area. This includes offering scholarships, providing school equipment, supporting nutrition programs, and conducting teacher training and community development projects for young people.
