"Lazy afternoons by the pool at Bumi Hills were unforgettable.

The way the infinity pool seamlessly blends into Lake Kariba made it feel like we were
floating on the lake itself. With the soft breeze flowing through the white curtains and the
African sun warming us, it was the perfect spot to escape, relax, and just be. I could’ve spent all day here—cocktail in hand, a good book, and that endless view.

Bumi, you’ve stolen our hearts!" - Nikita

"As we gather on the floodplains of Lake Kariba for our bush dinner, the night comes alive with the sounds and sights of the African wilderness.

The rhythmic beat of drums and the harmonious voices of the locals echo across the landscape, their music weaving through the cool evening air. I can feel the ground pulse with the energy of the dancers, their movements grounding me in the vibrant rhythm of the night.

This is a moment of genuine connection with the spirit of Africa." - Nikita

"Sitting quietly on the boat, the calm of Lake Kariba's water wraps around us, its glassy surface reflecting the peaceful stillness of the moment.

Against the backdrop of an amber sunset, we watched these fishermen casting their nets for the night on the silent waters of Lake Kariba. Each motion spoke of generations of knowledge and a deep connection to the lake, a way of life carved from this majestic backdrop.

As night gently unfurled its cloak, the scene was a strong reminder of the timeless bond between the fishermen and the waters of Kariba." - Nikita

Happy World Safari Day!

Safari holds different meanings for everyone. For some, it’s an adventure through breathtaking landscapes, encountering iconic wildlife in their natural habitat. For others, it’s a journey inward - a chance to reconnect with the earth, find stillness, and reflect on the delicate balance of life.

Over time, safari has come to represent more than just travel; it’s a profound connection between people and nature, sparking a deep desire to give back, protect, and care for the land that sustains us all. It reminds us of the beauty of coexistence and the shared responsibility we have to preserve these lands for future generations.

Whether it’s the thrill of discovery, the peace of being immersed in nature, or the inspiration to contribute to conservation, safari has the power to transform.

What does Safari mean to you?

"The golden light of Mana Pools at dawn and dusk is pure magic.

As the sun rises or sets, the landscape is drenched in a warm, golden glow, turning the scenery into a living painting. Though we had just one day of this golden light, thanks to the bush fires on the Zambian side of the river, it was nothing short of breathtaking.

Watching the light filter through the trees and transform the landscape was an experience I’ll never forget." - Nikita

Boswell the Elephant

"In the heart of Mana Pools, I witnessed a breathtaking moment that felt like a privilege to behold. Elephants, towering giants, were balancing on their hind legs in a display of astonishing grace. Their massive tusks gleamed under the sun as they reached high into the canopy, stretching their trunks to graze on the tender leaves of the tallest trees. Standing on foot just a few meters away, I felt a profound sense of awe and humility." - Nikita 📸: @crisp_and_khaki
