Before the 1850s, Victoria Falls couldn’t be found on a map. When David Livingstone discovered the region and its Tonga and Makalolo people in 1855, the area received much attention for its abundance of stunning scenery and fantastic wildlife.
This region, now called Livingstone, still boasts old-world-charm and is an African hot-spot for those looking to enjoy an authentic Zambia family safari or honeymoon safari.
Nestled on the western bank of the Zambezi River in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park and bordering one of The Seven Natural Wonders of the World—Victoria Falls, the Wilderness Safaris’ Toka Leya camp’s prime location allows visitors to enjoy a network of diverse eco-systems. The surplus of animals and flora associated with these different types of terrain is not only fascinating, but also extensive.
Rainforests, riverine forests, mopane and teak woodlands, and the Zambezi River system are home to thousands upon thousands of varying species, making Toka Leya camp an ideal place to enjoy fantastic game-viewing, birding, fishing, and much more. With elephants, buffalos, and lions being some of the most abundant creatures in the area, it’s no wonder seasonal travelers choose to stay at the Toka Leya camp to satisfy their craving for big game-viewing.
At Toka Leya camp, activities on the fully inclusive rate include:
• Game drives through the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park allow visitors to observe giant herds of buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and impala. A bird lover’s haven, the Livingstone area also boasts trumpeter hornbills, Schalow’s turaco, African finfoot, half-collared kingfisher, African skimmer, and rock pratincole.
• A river cruise down the Zambezi River guarantees sightings of nile crocodile, hippo, elephants, and excellent bird sightings. Feel relaxed and comfortable with a cocktail in hand as you watch crocodiles bask on river banks drifting by, and listen to the sounds of nature.
• Fishing excursions in the Zambezi River is a truly delightful experience, no matter what your fisherman skill level. The most common fish to catch on a Zambia fishing excursion are tiger fish and tilapia. If you’re looking for a challenge, the tiger fish is a feisty one.
• Guided walks on the surrounding paths of Victoria Falls are perfect for viewing playful banded mongoose, bushbuck, and devious vervet monkeys and baboons. Discover interesting facts about Zambia’s wildlife from expert tour guides who know the region inside and out.
• Tours of Livingstone town and museum introduce visitors to the rich culture and strong historical roots of the local people and the area.
