Set on the eastern bank of the river across from the main park and just north of the Nsefu Sector, this relatively simple but high quality camp has traditional open-sided public areas and just six reed and canvas guest rooms.

Tafika has just six chalets, making it one of the smallest fully-equipped camps in Africa. All of these are made to a high standard out of locally-sourced reed and thatch.

Four are almost identical in layout, each with two comfortable double beds with quality cotton bedding, swathed under large mosquito nets.

There's a large shower, with piping hot water at the turn of a tap, a wash basin and, inside a small, roofed hut – a slightly incongruous flush toilet!

Tafika's honeymoon suite is largely the same, but has a double his-and-hers shower and a huge double bed. It is ideal as two adjoining rooms for a small family, or perhaps for singles travelling together – or even as a honeymoon suite.

Meals are relaxed affairs for the dinners – though quite frantic affairs for the kitchen team who produce impressive cuisine.

Lunches and dinners are served, and the well-stocked bar is always open on a help-yourself basis. Everyone usually eats together, often outside.

As with many camps in the South Luangwa, they offer 4x4 safaris (day and night drives) and walking safaris.

As well as vehicle and foot safari, John also offers the most fantastic microlight flights. The camp is open during the dry season May/Nov.
