African Bush Camps Itineraries and Experiences
We are thrilled to partner with African Bush Camps, founded by professional guide Beks Ndlovu. He started his journey as a professional safari guide working for companies in Zimbabwe. However, he felt that the safaris being offered were sometimes too structured and stiff, not giving you the flexibility to venture out and explore the wonders of the African wilderness in different ways – in your way. African Bush Camps gives you that flexibility at 17 safari camps around Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia.
You’ll revel in the joy of discovery and pristine locations in Africa. From vehicle game drives to trekking on foot, canoeing, community visits and giving back. African Bush Camps offers adventure that expresses the philosophy they stand by…Authenticity.

Start your African Safari Here
Affectionately known as one of Africa’s best-kept secrets, Zambia offers a raw and authentic taste of true Africa. Off the beaten track, Zambia’s charm lies in incredible views and rich scenery. Victoria Falls referred to as the strikingly beautiful “Smoke that Thunders”, is definitely not to be missed here – the sheer magnitude of this natural wonder is simply awe-inspiring.
The rich and diverse landscapes of this country are one of its biggest draws. The wilderness is notable for its considerable vastness of untouched areas, mountain highlands and deep rift valleys, wetlands and floodplains. Even the bigger territories of South Luangwa National Park are still relatively unexplored, so your senses will be heightened to the subtlest of movements while on safari. Expect to see herds of elephant and buffalo roam the vast plains, along with lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Zambia is the ideal destination for any discerning enthusiast looking for a unique and private African safari experience. This 7 Night itinerary covers it all.

This 13 day itinerary includes some of the best of the African Bush Camp Properties. Somalisa provides guests with breathtaking views of the golden savannah plains of Hwange.

Hwange National Park is a land of contrasts from dense teak and acacia forest to vast open savannah, offering guests an exhibition of raw and diverse Africa. Somalisa Camp enjoys pride of place as our first-ever Hwange safari lodge.

Set within the Okavango Delta’s community-run Khwai Concession, this beautiful camp is tucked under the trees on the edge of the Khwai River.

Watching these animals manoeuvre through the water is an exceptional experience for even the most travelled safari veterans.
