"Chikoko Tree Camp review"
The Chikoko Tree Camp is rustic, but hugely comfortable. The team is superb, and you will marvel at the delicious dishes which arrive from the basic kitchen." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia
"Baboon ate my toothpaste :)"
We still saw plenty of game including watching elephants cross the river, just no cats this time. There was a naughty baboon stealing anything edible from the camp, including chewing on my toothpaste. I always thought it odd that Remote Africa provide toothpaste in the rooms, who goes on holiday without toothpaste? But it came in handy!
I believe there is a plan to replace all the steps in the chalets as these are getting a little precarious.
Food was excellent, probably the same as Tafika but I think it seems even better when you've been walking! It's amazing what they can produce from such a basic kitchen." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia

Isaac was an interesting guide although he had no conception of time!" See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia
"Nichols at Chikoko"
The guided walks were the highlight. You get closer to the animals when you're in a car but walking through the bush is a completely different experience." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia
"A great experience"
The chalets are great, the food in a camp where everything is made bush style (fresh bread and cakes in an oven in the ground) is excellent and all the staff friendly and helpful. Walking in the bush and staying in Chikoko was a highlight. You have to be aware though, that a minimal amount of fitness is needed, especially in the hot season." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia
"Perfection"
The camp was quite simply constructed, as a remote bush camp should be, but everything we needed was provided. The standard of service at the camp was extraordinarily good, especially considering that everything had to be carried in from the nearest river crossing.
The food in particular was wonderful, all cooked from fresh on site. The game walks were brilliant, a 4 hour walk at sunrise and a 2 hour walk late afternoon), brilliantly led by Alex, our guide and camp manager." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 7n in Zambia; 2n in Zimbabwe; 2n in Botswana
"chikoko a fine bushcamp"
"Crocodile - Chikoko walking tour"
This camp has two storey huts which provide good views over the grasslands in front of the camp. The comfort and cuisine here match the other Remote Africa Safari camps, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
We had good sightings of mixed groups of animals here, which made for great photos in the soft evening light." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia
"Idyllic tree-houses"
We were looked after by an excellent team (Alex the guide, Alex the scout, and James and Crispin running the camp). Just an utterly romantic place to be." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia
