Walking in the South Luangwa is the best reason to come to Zambia, and no-one does it better than the Coppinger's Remote Africa team and their Chikoko Trails. If wide open spaces and the luxury of being the only people for miles is your idea of romance, this could be a perfect fit.
Itinerary
A seven-night trip begins with 3 nights at Tafika Camp. You then immerse yourself in the sights, scents and sounds of the bush on the walking trails, staying 2 nights at Chikoko Tree Camp and 2 nights at Crocodile Camp.
These bush camps are simple, intimate and comfortable, with en suite showers and flush loos. Big game encounters with buffalo and elephant are common.
