Day 1 - Day 3
  • Road transfer from Livingstone Airport to Toka Leya
  • Toka Leya Camp is hidden on the banks of the Zambezi River in the western sector of the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, about 12km upstream from Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Overlooking the mighty Zambezi River and some of its islands, under a shady canopy of jackalberry and waterberry trees lies Toka Leya. The camp consists of 12 safari-style tents, each en-suite with a view of the magnificent Zambezi River and some of its islands. The camp's dining and bar area is set beneath a shaded canopy of trees overlooking the River and a swimming pool. Activities include a tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, game drives within Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park and river cruises. Other activities on offer in the area at an additional charge include sunset cruises, helicopter flights, micro-lighting, canoeing, jet boating, white water rafting and fishing. Game drives into the Mosi-oa-Tunya Park provide an opportunity to view general game species like Cape buffalo, southern giraffe, Burchell's zebra, blue wildebeest and impala. There is rich bird diversity here too, including several sought-after species such as African Finfoot, Half-collared Kingfisher, African Skimmer (seasonal), Schalow's Turaco and Rock Pratincole (seasonal). Great birding can be enjoyed within the confines of camp itself and out on river boat cruises. The Zambezi River offers some fishing opportunities and tiger fishing is an unforgettable challenge for keen fishermen, particularly during the warmer months. There are several varieties of bream (Tilapia) that are also a good catch.

    Day 3 - Day 6
  • Road transfer from The River Club to Livingstone Airport
  • Sefofane scenic shared flight Livingstone Airport – Kasane Airport
  • Sefofane shared charter flight Kasane Airport – Savuti Camp
  • Savuti Camp is situated in the Linyanti Reserve along the Savuti Channel in northern Botswana. The camp is built about 17 kilometers "downstream" from the source of the Savuti. The channel stopped flowing in 1980 and what was a Hippo-filled river, is now wide, open grasslands and a legendary predator’s enclave. Savuti Camp is a comfortable camp providing accommodation in seven large walk-in tented rooms with en-suite facilities. Five of the bathrooms are within the tents and two tents have bathrooms with wonderful open fronts facing onto the Savuti Channel. Each room is raised off the ground on wooden decks. The camp has a thatched dining area, pub, and plunge pool, all on raised wooden decks. There is a waterhole close to camp and this attracts large numbers of animals that guests can view from the camp. Activities include game drives in open 4x4 Land Rovers, night drives, walks with an armed guard and several hides for safe, up-close animal viewing. Savuti Camp’s “woodpile hide” is famous for the finest in elephant viewing where one literally feels what it is like to be with the herd. Game concentrations are high, particularly in the winter. There is also good concentration of plains game in the area.

There is an additional outside shower under the stars for those more adventurous guests who want to shower closer to nature. There is an outdoor “sala” for guests to enjoy midday siestas with a view and a breeze. A raised walkway connects the rooms to the dining room and lounge area. There are two plunge pools and an outdoor “boma” for dining under the stars, as well as an excellent wine cellar. Jao also offers a Salon with a full-time therapist, offering a wide range of massage treatments. The activities at Jao include mokoro (dug out canoe) excursions, boats, fishing, day and night game drives, and guided walks. During an unusually high flood season, game drives begin by boating out to a nearby island - Hunda Island - where the vehicles are waiting, and the drive begins from.
