Our Story

Founded in 2006 by local Zimbabwean guide, Beks Ndlovu, African Bush Camps was created with the purpose of sharing Africa’s authentic beauty while conserving its wildlife and empowering local communities. This mission remains at the heart of everything we do today.

With 17 unique safari Experiences across Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, we promote and influence African safari travel on a global scale – all while working with a strong focus on conservation, community, and sustainability.

As a Black Zimbabwean entrepreneur, Beks is changing the safari industry, offering authentic, locally-rooted experiences that challenge industry narratives. Through African Bush Camps, he fosters inclusive travel experiences that inspire wellness and a profound connection to the African continent.

Our Guides

We believe that an extraordinary safari requires an exceptional guide.

As we grew from the ground up, Beks prioritized the inherent value of our guides who continue to remain the driving force behind African Bush Camps today. Our guides are trained, knowledgeable locals who grew up in the areas our Experiences are located. They are not only invaluable storytellers, but also custodians of these African lands.

We ensure that you will be guided by the very best and you experience Africa through local eyes – making us the home of the authentic safari.

Our Heartlands

Our home is in the heart of Africa, namely Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. With 17 Experiences across three countries, each African Bush Camps destination presents a unique safari of luxury, wonder, and discovery.

Our Experiences are located within private concessions, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and globally revered national parks. Is it the winding waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta that draw you in, the thunderous beauty of Zambia’s Victoria Falls, or the wildlife-rich plains of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park?

Our Foundation

Since 2006, African Bush Camps Foundation has operated alongside us, partnering with local communities to empower, educate, and conserve in the areas we reside.

Our Foundation manages 14 projects across Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. These projects are dedicated to education, conservation, and community upliftment, all of which are informed and driven by the needs and insights of the communities themselves. We always encourage our travelers to engage with these initiatives during their visits, and a portion of every safari booking goes directly to our Foundation.

African Bush Camps Foundation is a central part of African Bush Camps and everything we do. You can join us by donating to our Foundation, booking a safari, or simply sharing our story.

Let’s continue to share and conserve Africa, together.
