Reaching the remote and enchanting Tafika Camp is an adventure in itself. You can access the camp from Mfuwe Airport, the gateway to South Luangwa National Park. There are daily scheduled flights to Mfuwe from both Livingstone and Lusaka Airport.

The road transfer from Mfuwe Airport to the camp typically takes between 1.5 to 2 hours. For those opting for a quicker route, a 15-minute flight from Mfuwe Airport to Mwanya (Lukuzi Airstrip) followed by a brief 15-minute road transfer will bring you to Tafika camp.

The best time to visit the Luangwa Valley is during the dry season between May and October. All outlying water dries up and forces game to congregate around watering holes and rivers, while the vegetation starts to thin out, making it easier to spot wildlife. Tafika Camp, operating seasonally, welcomes guests from May to mid-November. The latter part of the dry season is especially warm and offers prime wildlife sighting opportunities.

From USD 555 per person sharing. (Green Season)
