‘I choose places like Atzaró because I believe true connection comes from harmony with nature’s raw and unfiltered beauty.

Its location within this delicate and spectacular ecosystem allows every game drive to become a shared moment with the wild, guided by those whose lives are intertwined with the natural world. These guides have grown up in this wilderness, their spirits woven with the land they love and call home. It’s this authentic connection that transforms a safari into a profound journey of discovery.

It’s more than just a lodge; it’s a place of undeniable magic, where the wild whispers, and guides who breathe the land share its stories.’ - ABC Ambassador,

“Staying at Thorntree River Lodge was truly magical - I felt completely connected to nature, with the mighty Zambezi River right outside my door.

Sleeping to the sounds of hippos, crocodiles, and nocturnal birds was unforgettable. My favorite part was showering and swimming in my private pool overlooking the river, with monkeys often visiting my villa.

Seeing Victoria Falls had always been my dream, and experiencing its power and the lush beauty of the Zambezi far exceeded my expectations.” - Alina, Chic Icon

“Over the course of three languid days, Chic Icon discovered that this African Bush Camps’ flagship unites Zambia’s rising status as a premium safari destination with design-forward villas, world‑class guiding, and a philanthropic heartbeat that resonates far beyond its thatch‑and‑glass walls.

Above all, staying here feels meaningful. Each plunge pool gazes upon a landscape safeguarded by the very lodge you inhabit; each gourmet forkful nourishes community gardens; each game drive funds guide‑training programs hailed as the continent’s gold standard.

For travelers craving a front‑row seat to Victoria Falls, design‑driven luxury and conservation with true clout, this riverside haven sings one irresistible refrain: come for the wonder, stay for the soul.”

A closer look at Queen Mambo reveals an injury to her eye, along with puncture wounds on the top of her head.

Could these be tooth marks? A sign of a territorial struggle? For now, it seems Mambo is one of the lucky ones - but her cub may not have been as fortunate.

What’s your theory?

“Every single meal here was spectacular. We’re talking about a level of creativity and ex*****on that rivals the best restaurants I’ve been to, except you’re dining with the sounds of the African bush as your soundtrack.

The chefs here don’t just accommodate dietary restrictions - they embrace them as creative challenges. Every meal feels like a celebration. The attention to detail, the quality of ingredients, the presentation - it’s all world-class, yet never stuffy or overdone. Just pure, elevated comfort in the most beautiful setting imaginable.

With that, this takeover is a wrap! I hope this inspired you to visit and see why Lolebezi, the Lower Zambezi, and Zambia are so special. Leaving is always tough, but the good news is - you can always come back. I’m already planning my return. Until next time!” - Brian

“Experiencing a safari in the Lower Zambezi is truly special. Exploring by both truck and boat gives you more chances to spot incredible wildlife. We saw massive elephant herds, graceful impala, majestic buffalo, and even a pride of lions playing hide-and-seek. The diversity here amazed me - from tiny colorful birds to hippos in the river. Every game drive felt completely unique.

Lolebezi takes things up a notch with their sundowners. Just when you think you’ve found the perfect spot, they surprise you with an even more serene setting. Every sunset felt magical, with golden rays setting the scene for the ultimate ‘happy hour’.

What makes this place unforgettable is how every experience feels both carefully planned and wonderfully spontaneous - thanks to a team that knows this land inside out.” - Brian

“I’d be remiss not to mention the spaces that bring everyone together! Lolebezi’s main lodge strikes this perfect balance between polished elegance and raw, natural textures - like a sophisticated treehouse overlooking the Zambezi. I kept catching myself just standing there, in awe.

The marble green granite bar? A total showstopper. It’s not just beautiful - it’s the heartbeat of the lodge, where conversations flowed as easily as the cocktails.

Then there’s the upstairs game room - a hidden gem accessed via spiral stairs. Think pool, ping-pong, and even a telescope for stargazing. It felt like a secret level designed for those quieter moments between game drives.

And finally, the pool. This massive infinity pool looks straight out over the Zambezi. I spent hours here watching the river and the elephants in the distance. It’s one of those spots you never want to leave.” - Brian

"This is Fred. These days, he’s spending a lot of time around camp.

Fred’s got quite the reputation. He’s the second elephant to learn the famous ‘stand-up' trick from Boswell - yes, up on his hind legs, just like that. But Fred’s got his own flair. Before he rises, he does a little shuffle, almost like he’s dancing.

That’s how he got his name, Fred, after Fred Astaire. Our very own elephant dancer.” - Taffy, Host at Nyamatusi Camp
