THE DAZZLE DIFFERENCE
When you travel on safari, you expect to see iconic wildlife and landscapes, stay in beautiful camps, and spend time immersed in nature.
But do you know what it takes to protect these ecosystems, the animals that call them home, and the communities living alongside them?
That’s what makes Dazzle Africa different. Dazzle Africa was founded in 2012 by a group of 6 women who were inspired by a visit to Zambia. We have since invested over $3.9 million in conservation and community programs. On a Dazzle safari, you’ll meet the people working on the ground - the local heroes who dedicate their lives to protecting wildlife and supporting thriving communities.
While many visitors experience Africa from within their camps and lodges, we take you a step further. With a dedicated Dazzle host alongside you, you’ll be introduced to this place in a deeper way - the people, the stories, and the conservation efforts that have helped protect one of Africa’s most extraordinary and irreplaceable ecosystems.

05. The Luangwa Experts
Dazzle Africa safaris and programs are focused in and around South Luangwa National Park in Zambia.
One of the last great remaining unspoiled wilderness areas in Africa, the South Luangwa is pristine and teeming with wildlife! South Luangwa spans 3,500 square miles and features diverse landscapes, from dense forests of mopane, ebony, and sausage trees to open savannas dotted with baobabs, all bordered by the winding Luangwa River. As Africa's most intact major river system, it is the lifeblood and a magnet for animals and birdlife.
We are the leading experts in hosting safaris in this region, with 14 years of experience and relationships in the Luangwa.
