The Experience
Chikoko Tree Camp, nestled in the South Luangwa National Park, offers an unparalleled walking safari experience. With only three refreshingly simple, grass-walled chalets, the camp provides an intimate escape for a maximum of six guests. Accessible only on foot, Chikoko immerses you in the heart of wildest Africa, where the minutiae of the bush come alive. The uniquely raised chalets blend romantically with the tree canopies, offering spectacular views and enhancing your connection with the surrounding wildlife.
Days at Chikoko Tree Camp are filled with invigorating walking safaris led by experienced guides, armed National Park scouts, and tea bearers. These walks follow ancient elephant and hippo trails, echoing the footsteps of David Livingstone himself. Guests can expect to uncover the secrets of the bush, from tracking big game to experiencing the thrill of standing downwind of an elephant. The camp emphasizes a deep, authentic connection with nature, encouraging guests to embrace the rhythm of the wild.
After exhilarating walks, return to the comfort of your en-suite chalet, complete with flush toilets and hot water for evening showers. Dining is a celebrated affair, with delicious cuisine cooked over a wood fire and fresh produce from the Tafika vegetable garden. As night falls, the Luangwa lullabies of lion roars and hyena whoops will lull you to sleep, ensuring an unforgettable and truly wild African experience.
