Remote Africa Safaris offer an amazing walking experience in the Luangwa Valley. Chikoko Walking Trails in the South Luangwa National Park are conducted in a very beautiful area, rich in wildlife. It is a wilderness area, free of roads and vehicles. Chikoko Walking Trails operate slightly upstream of Tafika on the West bank of the Luangwa, utilizing two exclusive bush camps named Chikoko Tree Camp and Crocodile River Camp.
Chikoko Tree Camp is situated about five miles upstream of Tafika. As the name suggests the three twin chalets are raised above the ground, within the tree canopy. This enhances the view of the acacia grove in front of camp where a constant array of wildlife activity unfolds throughout the day.
Crocodile River Camp has three chalets imaginatively constructed of thatch and natural materials–delightfully simple, yet perfectly comfortable. It rests beneath a grove of magnificent ebony trees, overlooking a dambo and the action of a day in the wild.
All luggage and supplies are portered into the camps. Guests only need to carry their binoculars and cameras. The walking trails follow a maze of animal footpaths between camps, accompanied by a Remote Africa Safaris guide, an armed National Park’s scout and the tea bearer bringing up the rear. Bottled drinking water is also provided.
Walks normally last a leisurely 3-4 hours, with a mid morning break for tea. The terrain is fairly flat but occasionally uneven.
