With Only 12 Tented Suites, Toka Leya Is That Perfect Zambezi River Camp

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.

The Zambezi is a source of life for many creatures large and small. Hippo wallow in the shallows, while elephant, buffalo and other plains game come to drink.

Overlooking the mighty Zambezi and some of its islands is Toka Leya Camp, consisting of 12 spacious en-suite safari-style tented suites. Wooden walkways snake between the units and the main area, limiting our footprint on this pristine area.

The islands in front of the camp are intriguing and form part of the braided channel of the Zambezi River with several rapids, the main channel and dense vegetation.

The eastern side and main area of Toka Leya are under a shady canopy of Jackalberry, Knobthorn and Waterbury trees.

The western side is in a more open setting - an ancient baobab tree is a focal point and panoramic Zambezi vistas.

Toka Leya Camp's design blends in perfectly with the landscape. The camp was built using only local materials and skills, and all the wood used was sustainably sourced.
