Welcome to Lolebezi – an exclusive gem in the heart of Lower Zambezi National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, right on the banks of the majestic Zambezi River. Here, nature reigns supreme: discover the remote wilderness where zebras, elephants, and hyenas roam freely on breathtaking game drives, hikes, and boat trips. Modern suites with private pools offer unforgettable views of the river and rich wildlife through floor-to-ceiling windows. The bush luxury is rounded off by a variety of halal meals, an air-conditioned gym, an intimate spa, and an open yoga deck where lions have been known to relax.
Have your camera ready – during the daily game drives, you might spot waterbucks, hyenas, warthogs, zebras, baboons, impalas, elephants, lions, and even rare leopards. Excursions on the Zambezi River are also a must: while canoeing, fishing, or brunching on a sandbank, you can spot crocodiles and hippos. Surprisingly luxurious for a safari camp, Lolebezi even has a small air-conditioned gym with various equipment, an open yoga deck, an intimate spa where you can enjoy an Africology facial or a Healing Earth massage, and a pool overlooking the river.
With a maximum capacity of 16 guests in eight suites, four of which can be connected to form two family suites, you are guaranteed a truly personal experience. The bedrooms and living areas face east and offer breathtaking views of the sunrise, while the bathrooms and dressing rooms face west. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow unobstructed views of the river and open onto an outdoor deck equipped with sun loungers, seating, and a private plunge pool. The interior combines wood, reed, and fine marble to create a luxurious space with authentic flair.
An all-day halal menu guarantees a variety rarely found in the bush: the dedicated chef creates everything from healthy smoothies and Indian tandoori meals to wood-fired pizza and barbecues – everything the international hearts of his guests could desire. Homemade ice cream and popcorn delight younger guests, while adults can sample excellent South African wines and creative cocktails at the bar. The outdoor fire pit is a popular gathering place for sundowners in the evening.
In the midst of the untouched nature of Lower Zambezi National Park, where wild animals roam freely and the tracking skills of experienced guides can be admired, Lolebezi awaits you for an authentic and unique safari experience. At this camp, everything revolves around letting the land and nature determine the experiences. This philosophy is reflected in the design of the lodge, which, with its modest elegance and natural materials, seems to grow out of the savanna forest itself. From woven reed blankets to hand-carved wooden doors and ornate calabash curtains in the dining area, Zambian culture can be felt in every detail here.
