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.”
“Hwange National Park is my favorite place to guide - not just because it’s home, but because the wildlife here is so rich and full of surprises. From big herds and predators to incredible birdlife, there’s always something new to see.
Somalisa Camp sits in one of the best spots in the park. The sightings we get here? Absolutely amazing.
For me, it’s a real privilege to spend each day out in nature, sharing these moments with guests and reminding people why protecting these places matters.”

“My name is Dophas Tshaba, and I’m a guide at Somalisa Camp.
I started out in maintenance at Somalisa Camp 12 years ago - thanks to my brother Raymond, who was a guide there. From kitchen porter to waiter to host, I kept learning and growing with each role. It was during my time as a host, watching guests return from game drives grinning ear to ear, that I knew - I wanted to be that guy. The one who brings the magic of safari to life.
With Raymond’s support, I studied hard, passed my exams, and began guiding under the mentorship of my Head Guide, Calvet. What draws me to this work is how every day brings something new. There are no guarantees in the bush - but that’s the beauty of it.
And my favorite animal? The elephant. Watching them at a waterhole - led by the wisdom of the matriarch - is something that speaks to the soul.”

Nyami Nyami, the Zambezi River God, is a powerful deity of protection for the local Tonga people.
Mostly depicted as a serpent with a fish’s head, Nyami Nyami is profoundly connected to the communities along the Zambezi River. During the construction of the Kariba Dam in the 1950s, devastating floods and turmoil swept the area, believed to be the result of his anger. The dam, which separated him from his wife in the Kariba Gorge, is said to have triggered his wrath.
Travelers will often spot the presence of Nyami Nyami around Bumi – whether on walking sticks, pendants, or other daily objects.

“One of our favorite experiences at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge was the water safari on Lake Kariba.
Lake Kariba is a magical place at any time of day, but as the sun sets, the sky transforms into a beautiful blend of pinks, blues, and purples - creating some of the most amazing light we’ve ever seen. There’s something about those colors that instantly lifts our spirits and fills us with positivity!
Bumi Hills Safari Lodge was the first camp where we had the opportunity to do a boating safari, and the eerie, towering dead trees of Lake Kariba provided incredibly unique photographic opportunities.
We’ve visited many special safari lodges, but this one is at the top of our list, and we can`t wait to return.” - Britt & Tommy

“Perspective is everything when it comes to wildlife photography, and achieving a low angle is one of the holy grails.
We’ve always wanted the chance to capture the elusive Nile crocodile, and we finally got the opportunity. These ancient reptiles have been around for over 200 million years, outliving even the dinosaurs. A true relic of the prehistoric world, still reigning supreme in the waters of Lake Kariba.
Our guides Chamu, Bryan, Mash, and Godwin were instrumental in getting us in the right position at the right moment to capture the images we’ve been sharing. They were so knowledgeable and made each moment feel special, helping us connect with the wildlife and the land in such a meaningful way.
We can’t thank them enough, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to show us the magic of Africa.” - Britt & Tommy

Join award-winning cinematographer @brittmumma and National Geographic filmmaker @tjtriage as they explore the wonders of Bumi Hills Safari Lodge, combining their passion for storytelling, photography, and unforgettable African experiences:
“Our arrival at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge was absolutely jaw-dropping.
Flying in on a small plane, we got a glimpse of the Lodge perched on the hillside as we descended toward the private airstrip - it was such a cool way to start our adventure. The team made us feel right at home from the moment we landed, even going the extra mile to track down oat milk and halloumi cheese for Britt!
From the infinity pool to the wood-fired pizza oven, everything about the Bumi Hills Safari Lodge was perfect.” - Britt & Tommy
