Chikoko Tree Camp is situated 8km upstream from Tafika. Here three chalets are raised above the ground ensuring that they sit, rather romantically, within the surrounding tree canopies. The ground floor is the bathroom and changing area and stairs alongside the chalet lead up to the bedroom area perched on the raised platform.
The Chikoko Tree Camp's uniquely raised en-suite chalets enhance the views of the spectacular surrounding acacia grove, the array of wildlife that frequent it and the ongoing wildlife activity that unfolds throughout the day.

Big Lagoon Camp (previously Crocodile River Camp) encompasses just three chalets that all rest beneath a grove of spectacular Muchenja (Ebony) trees. In 2022 Crocodile River Camp was moved to Big Lagoon, less than 1km south of the original site. It's now called Big Lagoon and revives one of the original camp sites of the Luangwa, a camp where John Coppinger used to visit with his family as a child.
The camp overlooks an expansive lagoon that holds water throughout the year so is perfectly situated to enable guests to observe the daily wild visitors that come to quench their thirst.
The chalets are a delightful combination of natural building materials and imaginative architecture. The end result is a simple, comfortable and authentic experience for guests.

Set on a scenic bend of the Mwaleshi River, this camp is a truly special place - unlike any other in Zambia. With just four thatched chalets built entirely of natural materials with en suite bathrooms and and uninterrupted views of the river, Mwaleshi offers you a genuine feeling of solitude and seclusion.
Located in an area of pristine wilderness where there are few roads, game viewing is excellent! Buffalo and lion roam in vast numbers whilst life in camp is comfortable yet refreshingly simple.
