IMPACT SAFARI OVERVIEW

Our Impact safari brings you along our journey as we strive to make a lasting impact in the areas, wildlife and communities around our camps. This safari provides a unique opportunity to spend some time in the local community, learn about our foundation projects in the area and volunteer at our local school projects.

This safari seamlessly blends the best of Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia into one unforgettable adventure. You can experience the thrill of a lifetime as you explore the untamed beauty of Africa, encounter some of the world’s most incredible wildlife, and immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures and traditions of these awe-inspiring countries.

The journey begins in Botswana, where we improve education quality by investing in local schools and enriching the community through skills development and entrepreneurship. We then journey to Zambia, where we are improving access to quality health care for the community and improving the quality of education. We wrap up the adventure in Zimbabwe, where we are actively investing in conservation and mitigating human-wildlife conflict by educating, equipping and empowering communities living near national parks to co-exist with wildlife.

The combination of these three destinations creates the perfect safari experience.
