Wilderness Toka Leya Newsletter – January 2024

The good rainfall in January helped keep the vegetation lush and green, adding to the beauty of our surroundings. The temperatures were pleasant, with sunny days and cool evenings.

The river level increased significantly and our boat cruise was a spectacular activity that guests love – it is so relaxing, and there are great spots to see many different bird species, trees and animals. Elephants crossing the river, as well as hippos, crocodiles, and monitor were all seen in or along the banks of the river, creating an outstanding atmosphere while enjoying sundowners.

Game viewing offered beautiful guest moments, despite the vegetation being quite dense and tall from the rains. In the national park itself, guests enjoyed sightings of giraffes, elephants, zebras, bushbucks, impalas, monkeys, buffalos, wildebeest and many more.

Sometimes we also saw amazing animals in camp, including zebras, bushbucks, warthogs, giraffes and elephants, which was a real highlight and a wow for our guests.

The Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, were in full flow, providing superb sights and so much adventure, adding greatly to our guests’ safari memories.

Rhino tracking nearby offered a top-notch wow experience which guests so appreciated. 

Another exciting experience was the local Sinde village tour, truly a wow for guests because of the cultural exchange and interaction with the village residents.

In addition to our Munjile cultural band, we introduced a new band called Muyengo, adding even more flavour to our traditional evenings, with wonderful extra insights into the many cultures we are so proud of in Zambia.
