Activities

A stop is taken at a scenic sight during the morning to enjoy a hot cuppa' and snack.On afternoon drives, sundowners are taken overlooking the Luangwa River, after which a spotlight is brought into play, revealing Africa's nocturnal wildlife.

Hippo sundowners

Near Takwela Camp 'hippo' sundowners can be enjoyed on the banks of the Luangwa in the presence of Takwela's huge pod of resident hippo.

Night game drives

All vehicles are open, comfortable and accommodate only four guests allowing for great photographic moments and plenty of opportunity to ask the guide questions.On afternoon drives, sundowners are taken overlooking the Luangwa River, after which the drive continues in the dark with the help of a spotlight.Night drives are led by an experienced guide accompanied by a hawk-eyed spotter who controls the spotlight and finds many nocturnal animals rarely seen during the day activities.

Walking safaris

On foot guests are given the rare opportunity to become part of nature, to immerse themselves in the wonders that present themselves at every turn. A walking safari is always led by an experienced guide with an armed National Park scout and a tea bearer so their are many eyes ready to spot the Luangwa's wildlife, identify the smallest insect, track last night's lion spoor and identify a possible threat before it really becomes one.Children under the age of 12 are unfortunately not able to take part in walking safaris at Remote Africa Safaris.
