Situated on the confluence of the Luangwa and Mwaleshi Rivers by the North Luangwa National Park, the Takwela Camp offers breathtaking views and a true sense of being in the wilderness. Guests can enjoy a variety of game drives and walking safaris through a variety of vegetation.
The camp consists of four chalets equipped with double beds. Guests can enjoy delicious meals prepared at the camp. The camp maintains an eco-friendly ethos with the camp being built from locally sourced materials and powered using solar energy.
Takwela was rebuilt in 2021 so new photos are coming soon.

All vehicles are open, comfortable and accommodate only four guests allowing for great photographic moments and plenty of opportunity to ask the guide questions.
Morning drives set off early from camp and are taken at a relaxed pace. 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.
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.
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.
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.
