Great walking in a very intriguing habitat.
Very good walk to Chikoko. Excellent guiding (Stephen). Two storey "huts" gave excellent view. Everything well kept, clean, plenty off hot water for the shower. Food very good.
Afternoon walk brought us to a heard of some 200 buffalos and an open grassland of pukus, impalas, warthogs, elephants, elands, kudus and baboons, not to mention all the birds.
Chikoko Tree Camp review
Our 2 nights at Chikoko were wonderful. Great camp location overlooking a game-filled area. There was always something to see while relaxing in camp! Our host and guide, Isaac, was a wealth of information and we enjoyed his sense of humor. The daily walking was leisurely, and we saw quite a bit of game, although the lions and eland eluded us!
The elevated room was very nice and comfortable.
The camp facilities were excellent for a walk-in camp.
Meals were excellent, and the bread that came out of the underground "oven" was fantastic!
Great sightings in a short visit
Like Crocodile, this is another good bush camp, feeling reasonably remote despite its accessabiility, and with attentive staff. We found the walking and the environment more varied than at Crocodile.
Of course, this might just reflect our fortunes - we found lion and roan while walking, had a very atmospheric encounter with a large buffalo herd and had some great bird sightings (particularly maribou stork and marshall eagle). The split level rooms are unusual but work well.
super bushcamp
We were on our own so had the full attention of Stephen Banda who is a top guide. Sightings from the camp were good all day and the walks were varied and lovely.
The area was full of animals this year. A zebra was killed just outside and the growing noise from Impala, Baboon, Puku and then Zebra was exciting, until finally the hyenas joined in. We tracked the kill down next morning and most had already gone.
Very nice to see the same staff year on year in the kitchen and looking after us. Being a simple bushcamp suits us very well as we do not want tiled floors or baths , but do like a shower and a flush toilet. As it is completely open at the front the atmosphere is great, but safe enough.
Chikoko Tree Camp review
This was probably the most memorable part of our holiday! Wonderful, informative, exciting walks with an expert guide, Isaac.
Good food and comfortable rooms.
Best of all -- the feeling of being close to the animals in pristine surroundings. Magic!
Wonderful for Walkers
The atmospherics at Chikoko are terrific thanks to the smallness/intimacy of the camp, the friendliness of the staff - and the absence of vehicles. the walks were consistently interesting not least thanks to the expertise of our guide, Isaac.
The accommodation was very comfortable and we really enjoyed sleeping in the tree-tops. As for the food, everything we were offered would have been a real credit to a larger camp with extensive kitchen facilities - and especially the bread and cakes baked in a hole in the ground.
Excellent Chikoko Camp
We liked everything about this camp. It's very quiet and remote. The food, the staff, the guide (Alex), the room, everything was just perfect!
We could spend weeks here!

The walking was great; the guides were so knowledgeable about the ecology, plants, birds, insects as well as the antelopes, elephants etc.
That was what I wanted from a walking safari; genuine natural history, not just big cats etc.
The room was comfortable and the food astonishingly good.
Chikoko Tree Camp review
A great place: remote, very nice rooms with a fantastic terrace from where you can easily watch the game passing by.
I had the chance to be the only guest there and the staff has been fantastic making me feel as at home.
Great walks with an excellent guide.
