Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Zikomo Camp's location in the Nsefu Sector so special for wildlife viewing?
We love that Zikomo Camp is situated in the Nsefu Sector, a truly wild corner of the Luangwa. This area is famous for its high density of predators, especially leopards, and we've had some of our most thrilling sightings here. Expect incredible game drives and walking safaris right from the lodge's doorstep.
Beyond game drives, what unique experiences does Zikomo Camp offer?
While the game drives are exceptional, we highly recommend embracing the walking safaris offered at Zikomo. There's an unparalleled intimacy with the bush when you're on foot, learning tracking skills from expert guides. And for pure relaxation after a day's adventure, their spa treatments are a delightful, luxurious touch we truly appreciate.
What is the best time of year to visit Zikomo Camp for optimal wildlife and weather?
For the best wildlife viewing, we always suggest the dry season, from June to October. The Luangwa River recedes, concentrating animals around the remaining water sources, making sightings easier. The weather is also cooler and more pleasant during these months, perfect for enjoying the camp's beautiful setting.
