Our Build a Lion Boma Initiative aims to support the ABCF Human-Wildlife conflict efforts in the Mola community in Zimbabwe. The Lion bomas are used to protect the community’s livestock from predators and lions. A boma is a cloth material that is used to cover kraal’s so lions are unable to see the animals in the kraal, thus protecting the livestock inside from lions. By protecting the community’s livestock from lions and other predators, we are reducing human-wildlife conflict in the area and retaliation killing of wildlife.
Should you wish to build a boma, a donation of $2,000 towards the foundation will apply which goes towards the cost of the lion boma. Groups bookings of 4 people or less will require a private vehicle which can be booked for a cost of $1500 and reserves a private vehicle and guide for you for the duration of your stay at our camp -up to 3 nights.
T&C’s Apply
This initiative is included in the conservation impact safari or can be added to any ABC safari booking that includes our Bumi Hills Safari Lodge.
Bumi is very special! It’s definitely a place you come to relax and not your traditional safari lodge! Enjoy the laid-back vibes and go on lake cruises, village visits and go fishing! It was such a highlight of my stay! Nyasha, Simeon, Lemon, Sunshine every single person there went above and beyond! I know I’m leaving out names! Thank you, my time was wonderful!
Bumi Hills is perfection. Gorgeous rooms on the hill offer stunning views and excellent comfort. Chef Sunshine prepared delightful meals and my Mola Village visit led by guide Power was a dream come true. The sunset lake cruise offered my opportunity to get fabulous photos, as did our nature and game drives. I can’t wait to return.

A special shout out to Mazvie, Tongai, Little Max, Simeon and Sheckie! Thank you!
