Toka Leya, Victoria Falls

Set on raised decks on the banks of the Zambezi, Toka Leya offers the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation, making it a great spot to begin or end your Zambian safari.

Morning explorations of the river, game drives in the surrounding Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and excursions to the magnificent Victoria Falls are all on the agenda, and can be alternated with serene afternoons at the spa or yoga on the panoramic deck. Bungee jumping and helicopter rides can also be arranged for thrill-seeking guests, whilst visits to the nearby village provide an insightful look into the people and cultures of Zambia.

The camp has just 12 generously sized, ensuite tents furnished in the classic safari style. Each has a wide deck that offers you a private space to soak up the dramatic views - and catch glimpses of any passing wildlife. Wooden walkways connect the guest tents to the main area where you’ll find a dining, bar and lounge area. An infinity pool, sundeck and fire pit for night-time gatherings complete the facilities.
