“Of all the sightings I’ve been lucky enough to witness, the one that stays with me most is the wild dogs hunting. A pack of about 15 chased a group of impala out of the thickets and into the open plains, and they chased them until one was caught right in front of our vehicle.

It was over in less than five minutes. I heard its muffled cries, and I won’t pretend it was easy to watch. I cried. But this is nature: the dogs have to feed to survive, and they play such an important part in keeping the impala population in balance.

That day taught me that the bush isn’t always gentle.”

Meet Guide Zita.

From Livingstone, Zambia, Zita began her guiding career in 2023 through the African Bush Camps Foundation Female Guides Program. Today, she shares her passion for the natural world with guests, bringing her knowledge and enthusiasm to every safari.

“Growing up my uncle worked in the tourism industry, and he would take us to see the mighty Victoria Falls and the wildlife in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. That is where my interest for nature and wildlife began.

I love guiding because it helps me understand how nature works, and the interaction between living and non-living things fascinates me and I get to share that with my guests.”

Follow along this week to be guided by Zita

The rhinos are home. Now, their next chapter begins.

As they settle into Matusadona National Park, they are finding their place in a landscape their ancestors once roamed. Their return marks an important step in restoring the park’s wildlife, made possible through years of collaboration, dedication, and conservation efforts.

This is the future of Sharing and Conserving Africa, Together.

Not a moment was wasted when the impalas started alarm calling near the lodge. And what they found was worth the rush!

Captured by our ambassador, Cam Scott, this is what a morning with Mambo and her cub in the Lower Zambezi can look like. We’re lucky to watch his story, from a tiny newborn hidden in the branches to a growing, curious cub exploring the world at his mother’s side.

Meet the Leopards of Lolebezi.

Zambia, where the river leads and the wild follows.

Amber skies stretch across the floodplains, elephants cross the shallows at dusk, and a leopard slips through the shade of ancient trees.

These are the landscapes, wildlife encounters, and moments that make a Zambian safari unforgettable.

This is Zambia.

Two Experiences. Two iconic landscapes. One country renowned for its legendary leopard population, the Smoke That Thunders, and some of the finest walking safaris on the continent.

From the sweeping floodplains of Lower Zambezi National Park to the thundering waters of Victoria Falls, Zambia is where the river leads and the wild follows.

What began as a vision to do safari differently in Zimbabwe has grown into something greater: a commitment to sharing Africa authentically and creating a lasting impact across three countries.

Last Friday, we celebrated two decades of that vision. In Cape Town, we marked the milestone alongside the friends, partners, and supporters who have made this journey possible. Across our Experiences in all three countries, our teams celebrated too, recognizing the people whose dedication has built the business we know today.

Twenty years later, our purpose remains unchanged. As we look to the next chapter, we do so with gratitude for how far we’ve come and excitement for what we can achieve together.

Our herd has grown, but our promise remains the same: to offer Authentic African Experiences, ensure our guests are Guided By the Best, and that we continue to Share and Conserve Africa, Together.

Here’s to the next 20 years.
