If you are looking for a super-stylish yet intimate lodge, set along the Lower Zambezi, then the fresh and latest addition to the African Bush Camps portfolio, Lolebezi, is a fantastic option. The camp’s name comes from ‘Lole’, the name of the owner’s son, and of course the mighty River Zambezi, ‘bezi’. It aims to provide a wild, remote, and luxurious experience along one of Africa’s most incredible stretches of river.

African Buch Camps specializes in tented camps and lodges across Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, and was founded by professional safari guide Beks Ndlovu. Accommodation will be booked on a full-board basis, including all meals, an assortment of alcoholic and soft drinks, all activities, and a laundry service.

By some distance the most decadent camp in Lower Zambezi! Lolebezi is beautifully designed, and combines opulence with the exceptional standards of guiding we have come to expect from camps in Zambia.

  • These take place within the camp’s own wilderness area. The savanna, woodlands, floodplains, and waters are home to a wealth of wildlife, including four of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo! There are lots of smaller predators and herbivores too, and plenty of birdlife.

  • Cruising the River Zambezi is always a thrill. You’ll have a lot of fun observing such species as hippo, crocodile, and elephant coming down to drink at the river. And don’t forget to pack your binoculars, so you can look out for waterbirds.
