Chikoko Trails Camps
Situated in the South Luangwa National Park, along the west bank of the Luangwa, the Chikoko Trails Camps comprise two private camps: Chikoko Tree Camp and Big Lagoon (previously known as Crocodile River Camp).
Guests walk from camp to camp following the animal footpaths. This is unique way of seeing and experiencing the South Luangwa, as your route follows the well-worn elephant and hippo trails, through the Luangwa Valley.
At all times you are accompanied by an experienced guide, an armed National Park scout and a tea bearer as you wend you way. This is a Safari option that is as liberating as it is unforgettable.
All luggage and supplies are portered into the camps for your and the walks typically last three to four hours and this includes a welcome mid-morning tea break. The terrain covered is fairly flat but is occasionally uneven.
Chikoko Tree Camp is situated 8km upstream from Tafika. Here three twin chalets are raised well above the ground ensuring that they sit within the surrounding tree canopies, which enhance the views of the spectacular surrounding Acacia grove, the array of wildlife that frequent it and the associated wildlife activity that unfolds throughout the day.
