Women Empowerment Safari

9 nights

Impact Safari Overview

Our Women Empowerment Safari is an extraordinary nine-night journey through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, where you’ll stay at three of our exceptional Experiences. This safari shines a spotlight on our women’s empowerment initiatives in the local communities we support, both at our Experiences and beyond.

Discover our Female Guides Program, a trailblazing initiative for equality in the safari industry. Local community members have the opportunity to be trained in travel, tourism, and hospitality, with no previous experience required.  Learn traditional singing, dancing, and basket weaving with the women of the Vuche Vuche initiative, all while supporting local artisans in their craft. Visit the women-led Maunga Clinic, gaining insights into advancing health equity in remote communities. Connect with the Dete Community, where women spearhead small businesses, such as fashion, jewelry-making, and sustainable projects like the Mambanje Community Garden.

Join us in making a real difference. Let’s continue to share and conserve Africa, together.

For each booking, USD 5,000 goes directly to the African Bush Camps Foundation to support the training, uniforms, and certification of a Female Guide.  We aim to train 25 Female Guides by the end of 2025.

We then journey to Zambia, where we have improved access to quality health care for women in the community by building a clinic fully equipped with a maternity ward that is assisting with the delivery of babies. This clinic has significantly reduced the mortality rate for mothers and children during labour. Visit this woman-run clinic to learn about the work we are doing in the community to support mothers and young teenagers with services that include family planning and preventing early teenage pregnancies. In addition to this, we will visit Maunga Primary where we will join the community women in preparing and serving meals to learners at the nutrition program.
