Your Trip
Toka Leya
Location
Livingstone, Zambia

Luxurious Toka Leya Camp enjoys a prime location overlooking the Zambezi River. The east side of the camp is shaded beneath a canopy of trees, while the west side enjoys an open setting next to an ancient baobab tree. Wildlife around the camp includes elephants and crocodiles along the riverbanks and islands, and plenty of resident hippo that often create a ruckus nearby. A wide variety of birds are also on display.

The camp's 12 tents are raised on stilts and connected by wooden walkways to the main common area, minimizing the footprint on the land. Tent interiors utilize earthy hues in harmony with the natural environs. All have private shaded wooden decks with expansive views over the Zambezi’s braided channels. Each tent has individual climate control settings to ensure a cool summer sanctuary. Gauzy mosquito nets are draped over poster beds, and spacious en suite bathrooms have double-basin vanities and large showers. The camp’s shared central area incorporates a lounge with plush sofas and reading lamps, a bar, and a canvas-sheltered dining area complete with traditional pizza oven. A swimming pool is surrounded by a large wooden sun deck with lounge chairs overlooking the river.

Activities in the area include a Victoria Falls tour, sunset cruises, and guided nature walks and game drives in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, home to Cape buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, impala and more. A special highlight includes the possibility of spotting a white rhinoceros in the park. Guests can also explore the town of Livingstone and its museums, and a nearby village. A visit to the village offers a chance to see how local people live, with insights into their culture and traditions. Other activities available at an additional charge include helicopter flights, canoeing, jet boating and whitewater rafting.
Nat Hab's Gomoti Camp–Okavango South
Location
Okavango Delta, Botswana

Our private Gomoti Camp has just five tents for Nat Hab's exclusive use. The spacious walk-in canvas tents measure 20 x 11 feet and are designed to recreate the ambience early explorers enjoyed, with rich-grained teak director chairs and spare yet comfortable interiors. Separate bedside tables with 12-volt reading lamps, canvas and wood wardrobes, comfortable beds, mirrors and bathrobes are provided. Each tent includes a separate private en suite toilet and saltwater shower that are part of the structure. Paraffin hurricane lanterns and a crackling campfire create an inviting atmosphere in the evening, while sumptuous meals using fresh ingredients are typically prepared around the fire by the warm and friendly camp staff.
Jacana Camp
Location
Okavango Delta, Botswana

Jacana Camp lies within a private reserve in the northwestern part of the Okavango Delta and is bordered on the east by the Moremi Game Reserve. Lying in the very heart of the delta, the reserve captures all the wonder of the Okavango. Narrow water channels cut through papyrus and reed beds in the permanent delta to the north and east of the reserve, providing the perfect environment for the elusive sitatunga, a water-adapted antelope, and the rare Pel's fishing owl. Jacana Camp is built on a thickly forested palm island, many of which dot the area and invite exploration. Vast, open floodplains also provide epic vistas and desirable wildlife habitat. Jacana is a water-oriented location that offers mokoro (dugout canoe), boat and walking safaris year-round. Day and night game drives are also available, depending on receding water levels in the delta. All the big game are found in the area, including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo.

Jacana’s five Meru-style tents are built on wooden decks to capitalize on the view across the plains. Each tent has an en suite bathroom that is enclosed, plus an additional attached outside shower and clawfoot bathtub looking out across the floodplain. The camp has a plunge pool for cooling off in the midday sun, and the main dining area is on an elevated platform between two magnificent sycamore fig trees, surrounded by a dense grove of wild date palms. Guests may relax in the cozy bar and lounge or around the open fire pit area under the stars.
Camp Kalahari
Location
Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Kalahari Desert, Botswana

This remote desert safari camp is tucked beneath acacias and Mokolwane palms on Hyena Island at the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. A legendary location, these are the stomping grounds where storied explorer Jack Bousfield set up his original camp in the 1970s, claiming this spot within the vast expanse of the glittering pans as his own private paradise. Today, the camp retains its traditional atmosphere with 10 spacious Meru-style tents gathered around an airy, thatched-roof living space. Inside is a lounge with ample cushioned seating, a library, and a dining area. Each roomy canvas tent features authentic African furniture and textiles, canopied four-poster beds, colonial antiques and Moroccan kilims to keep your feet warm. An en suite bathroom has a flush toilet and hot and cold running water. Rich wood furnishings and vintage maps evoke the expedition atmosphere of a century ago. As a complement to your desert experience, cool off in the shaded plunge pool on a warm afternoon. Our time at camp include private game drives, unparalleled stargazing, a quad bike outing into the vast, dessicated expanse of the Makgakikgadi Pans, and a visit to one of Africa’s largest and oldest baobab trees. And don't miss a chance to get up close and personal with a colony of habituated meerkats.
