About Chikoko Tree Camp

  • Close Panel 

Chikoko Tree Camp is one of two small and exclusive bush camps in South Luangwa, which together form Chikoko Trails. These camps are only accessible on foot and offer a unique bush experience. They are ideal for clients who are keen to get away from the restrictions and inactivity of game drives. The experience of being on foot in these isolated and natural surroundings cannot be beaten. Guests are well looked after here and full support is provided with an experienced walking guide, armed National Park scout and chef as well as a genral camp staff.

Chikoko Tree Camp offers accommodation for a maximum of 6 people in 3 en-suite chalets. The rooms are built 3 metres above the ground and provide a wonderful vantage point from which to observe the surrounding area. A stay at Chikoko Tree Camp combines well with a stay at its sister camp, Crocodile River Camp and at the main Tafika Camp.

The walking safaris usually last a leisurely 3-4 hours. As well as the guide and scout, the group is accompanied by a tea bearer. The terrain is mostly flat but occasionally uneven. These walking safaris are not suitable for children under 12 years of age.

Pricing guidelines for Zambia

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:

Tribes Advisor

If you want to get away from vehicles, people and pollution and walk in the bush, this is the place for you!  Wonderful Zambian hospitality, no light or sound pollution, rustic but comfy accommodation and great walking country.  There are no vehicles, you access the camp by boat and then on foot, so be prepared to get away from it all!
