LOCATION: At confluence of the Luangwa and Mwaleshi Rivers in remote North Luangwa National Park.
SETTING: Situated on Remote Africa’s private land at the confluence of the Luangwa and Mwaleshi Rivers, Takwela has stunning views across a resident hippo pod to pristine bush on all sides.
ACCOMMODATION: Takwela accommodates up to eight guests in four en-suite chalets, with two double beds in three chalets and one king chalet. In keeping with the Remote Africa ethos, the camp is solar powered and built, primarily, from local natural materials and constructed with local skills.
HIGHLIGHTS: Takwela offers an intimate wilderness experience and the rare opportunity to visit a beautiful and unexplored area of the North Luangwa. In true Remote Africa Safaris style, expect excellent guiding, warm hospitality and delicious food as you would when visiting any Remote Africa camp. This part of the park is home to healthy populations of lion, hyena, elephant, impala, leopard, wildebeest, wild dog and over 400 species of birds and much more. By virtue of its remoteness, guests will virtually have exclusive access to over 55 miles of Luangwa river frontage and several natural springs!
