"Chikoko review"
The walking was hugely enjoyable - informative and sensibly paced - and although we were unsuccessful in our attempts to see lion, we were thrilled to be compensated by a sighting of a Pel's Fishing Owl, something which has long been on our wishlist." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia
"Enticing walking camp"
The accommodation at Chikoko particularly appealed to us with its upstairs bedroom: we had closeup observation of a bushbuck and more distant views of elephant and impala and warthogs from our room.
A lioness whose tracks had been evident around the camp slept outside our door one night - we heard her moving away when going down to the toilet, and could clearly see where she'd been lying in the dust. A hippo was also around at night.
On our walk out to the river on our last morning we saw a wild dog by itself - very exciting." See all these reviews: 19n in Zambia

"Real feeling of being in the bush"
"Chkoko"
We had an excellent guide in Moffit for whom nothing was too much trouble and Amon was superb scout who shared his tracking skills on our search for lion.
The kitchen visit is not to be missed and the food was excellent; the vegetables come across from the main camp. We were left to imagine how the fridge is carried in and out every season - no easy task!
Smaller animals were also worth seeing - elephant shrew and a delightful small Scops owl which visited every evening while we were having dinner." See all these reviews: 7n in Zambia; 3n in Malawi; 1n in South Africa
