Wilderness Toka Leya is the perfect place to start, or end, your African safari.

Bespoke décor pieces influenced by the natural beauty of the Zambezi can be found throughout the camp, paying homage to the local community. These include Zambian basket light fittings boldly featured in the serene lounge and dining areas. The bar is clad in vibrant fabric featuring a bespoke Zambezi fish design, and is the ideal setting for watching the sun set in a glorious blaze reflected in the river.

Beanbags add a splash of colour and fun on the riverside beach, and offer the ultimate spot to unwind, right on the water’s edge.
