Set in the breath-taking, untouched wilds of the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia, Lolebezi is the latest lodge in the African Bush Camps family and will undoubtably be one of the most spectacular.

Situated on five hectares of protected wilderness, the lodge has been designed to make the most of the one kilometre of private river frontage. Waking up with the majestic Zambezi River flowing just in front of your room is a truly exceptional experience!

The Lower Zambezi is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has some of the best wildlife sightings in the world. Famous for its leopard population and elephant herds, this amazing destination is best experienced on foot with one of African Bush Camps’ experienced guides. Walking through the towering acacia forests, searching for the Africa’s famous wildlife is simply one of life’s unbeatable adventures.

The contemporary lodge effortlessly incorporates the luxury expected in a world-class safari camp with a modest elegance and simplicity that can only be found in the African bush. Designed for both family and romantic escapes, Lolebezi has four signature suites and two double family suites. Lolebezi's exceptional chefs bring together a mixture of traditional African, European and Asian dishes to create a Halaal friendly menu that is almost as amazing as the wildlife and views.

SUSTAINABILITY

For the eco-conscious traveller, Lolebezi is ideal. Sustainability has been embedded into its design and recycled materials have been used in building the lodge. Staying at Lolebezi will have a profound effect on all who visit and is setting new standards for luxury safari travel in Africa. 

The African Bush Camps Foundation

This non-profit organisation was founded to partner with communities to improve the quality of life and achieve long-term conservation through programs focusing on Education, Community Empowerment, and Conservation.

The foundation hosts multiple projects that focus on addressing challenges such as unemployment, a lack of job opportunities, food scarcity, a lack of critical skills, poor education and health care infrastructure and resourcing, low school attendance, and dropouts due to financial constraints, wildlife poaching and preserving natural resources.

Partnering with stakeholders and local schools to support environmental education through practical permaculture and fun conservation experiences that children at the schools are able to translate into their communities.

These include World Environment and National Tree Planting Days and days where professional safari guides come to schools to engage and participate with the Conservation Clubs.

Some activities the guides participate in:

• Beating plastic pollution: students upcycle a variety of usable and decorative goods from different types of plastic, whilst guide share information and examples of the dangers of plastic to wildlife.
•  Nature corner display: students have a miniature display of wildlife and share their knowledge with guides. In turn, guides add to the student’s sharings and share additional fun facts.
• Question & Answer session: students get to answer questions about guiding as a career or other wildlife-related questions.

The goal is to help implement this with schools in all areas we work with in Zimbabwe, Zambia & Botswana.
