Chikoko Tree Camp
A remote treetop camp specialised in Luangwa walking safaris
Chikoko Tree Camp
Chikoko Tree Camp in South Luangwa National Park offers families a truly unique and immersive safari experience in a game-rich area of pristine bush.
The camp’s treehouse-style chalets, raised into the canopy, provide stunning views of the surrounding acacia groves and the wildlife that frequents the area. The upstairs bedrooms are complemented by outdoor safari showers downstairs, where families can stargaze while surrounded by nature.
Accessible only by foot, Chikoko offers unparalleled walking safaris, allowing families to explore the African bush up close. Led by experienced guides, these safaris immerse guests in the untamed wilderness, with opportunities to track Big Five animals such as lions and elephants as well as observe towering giraffes wandering along the river.
Children will love learning about the small creatures that call the bush home, while parents can appreciate the thrill of walking through a predator-rich area. Without the presence of vehicles or roads, families can truly feel like they’ve stepped into a hidden world where wildlife and nature take centre stage.
Chikoko Tree Camp offers a one-of-a-kind safari experience that brings families closer to nature in a way few camps can match.
