Overview 

Tafika Trails offers an exclusive walking safari experience in remote areas of South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. The operation comprises two small camps, Chikoko Tree Camp and Big Lagoon Camp, which can each accommodate up to six guests. Both are accessible only on foot, providing a more secluded way to explore the bush.

Rooms

The camps have six chalets each across the two locations combined. Chikoko Tree Camp has three elevated chalets set among mahogany and sausage trees, while Big Lagoon Camp has three chalets beneath ebony trees overlooking a lagoon. All chalets have en-suite facilities, flushing toilets, running water and hot showers.

Facilities

Facilities include communal charging points and solar-powered fans. Both camps have communal dining, with meals included in the stay. The camps are designed to offer a rustic bush experience using locally handcrafted natural materials.

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

" We had a wonderful time! We loved the journey and whole experience on Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Vic Falls. We especially enjoyed Victoria Falls and the wildlife in the grounds of the hotel! We liked Mauritius alot. "

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"

"South Africa was absolutely fabulous. Too many highlights to mention. The “stand out” for us was definitely the Rovos Train. The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was exciting & the Safari at Shamwari was superb! Driving the Garden route (& sometimes off the beaten track !) was stunning. Great memories of such a lovely country."
