In celebration of World Safari Day on the 25th of November, we are proud to partner with African Jacquard, who will be donating 20% of revenue from their new Safari Collection to African Bush Camps Foundation.​ The funds raised from the Safari Collection’s sales will go directly to African Bush Camps Foundation’s Back-To-School Campaign.

This year, we’ve put together the”Move for Education” initiative. Our objective is to provide support to 2000 children across multiple school communities aided by the ABCF. This support includes the provision of stationary packs, meals, and learner assistance.

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”  – Margaret J. Wheatley 
When we mobilize, collaborate, and partner together we create a powerful impact. Over the past two months, the African Bush Camps Foundation has hosted a series of inspiring community and school events across Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to empower students through sports and education, raise community awareness on conservation, and generate funds for drought relief in our National Parks. Here are the highlights of our efforts. 

African Bush Camps (ABC) and the African Bush Camps Foundation (ABCF) operate in communities and wildlife areas in Africa’s heartlands, namely Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Our vision is to support a thriving natural landscape that connects all ABC camps and lodges, thereby enabling functioning ecosystems for wildlife whilst empowering local communities. To achieve this, the ABCF focuses on two core pillars: Conservation and Community.
Conservation focuses on securing, enhancing, and rewilding new conservation areas and corridors (Expand), supporting existing conservation areas and organizations (Protect), and facilitating co-existence between communities and wildlife (Co-Exist). Community concentrates on supporting local schools, staff, and learners (Educate), empowering and up-skilling local community members and enterprises (Empower), and supporting healthcare facilities and staff (Health).
