A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mana Pools is one of the few places to experience a rich array of close-up wildlife via land, water, and walking safaris.
“Looking back, the inspiration behind African Bush Camps was to restore balance - to the land, its people, and the wildlife. I saw disparities that needed to be addressed, and I wanted to create something that not only celebrated Africa’s beauty but also gave back to it.”
From Security Guard to Award-Winning Chef
Moses Iluki began his journey as a security officer at Thorntree River Lodge, but his true passion lay in the kitchen. During his off-days, he experimented with recipes and watched cooking shows, all while refining his skills at home.
Determined to follow his dream, he completed a six-month hotel management course and joined the Thorntree kitchen as a sculler. His dedication and talent quickly earned him a promotion to Chef.
In 2023, he entered Mastercook Zambia, where his bold flavors and authenticity won over the judges – crowning him the Season 5 winner.
From night shifts to national recognition, Moses’ story is a testament to passion, perseverance, and the power of believing in yourself.

Leopards are my favorite animal, and I’ve had some amazing encounters with them in Lower Zambezi.
There’s Dictator, the dominant male, and Mambo, the female whose territory stretches over part of the Lolebezi premises. We cross paths with them on our morning and night drives, and each sighting always leaves me feeling amazed .
They’re such shy creatures, and so I feel very privileged to see their beauty in the wild.

My name is Esther Phiri, and I’m from Livingstone, Zambia.
For me, guiding is about more than just being in nature - it’s about understanding the ecosystem and the connections within it.
My first experience in the bush was nothing like I had imagined - it was even better! Seeing buffalos, impalas, and kudus for the first time was incredible. The stillness wasn’t empty - it was full of life, just different from the noise of the city. No cars, no crowds, just nature. A sense of peace came over me along with a deep curiosity. I needed to know more, and it was overwhelming in the best way.
I can still remember the first birdcall I heard in the bush: an emerald-spotted wood dove. I had spent years watching National Geographic, but in that moment, it was no longer just something on a screen. It was real.

Hyenas live in a matriarchal clan where females reign supreme.
The alpha female (larger and more dominant than the males) leads with absolute authority - overseeing resources, mating rights, and the survival of the clan. Her daughters inherit her high rank from birth, outstripping even adult females of lower status. With this power, they secure the best food and protection.
It’s a fascinating hierarchy in which leadership is inherited, not earned, and passed down from mother to daughter.

The Okavango Delta offers a peacefulness that is hard to find anywhere else.
As you drift in a mokoro through winding lagoons, gliding past lounging hippos and gazing at soaring fish eagles, you’ll find a solitude that soothes the soul.
A safari here is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the world around you.

Introducing Mai, Lady, and Scar.
Mai (center), an established female to the east of Lolebezi, is the mother of Lady (left) and Scar (right). In typical leopard behavior, mothers and daughters don’t remain close - usually exchanging snarls rather than companionship. Yet, Mai seems remarkably tolerant, allowing her grown cubs to interact with her long after most leopard bonds would have loosened.
These are the Leopards of Lolebezi.
