Who we are

Dazzle Africa’s Mission: Creating sustainable ecosystems for the land, people and wildlife in Zambia.

Dazzle Africa is a Las Vegas-based 501c3 nonprofit organization that was founded in 2012.

We plan and host philanthropic safaris to South Luangwa valley in Zambia, where the profit funds projects benefiting both the wildlife and people in the nearby community of Mfuwe.

The Need for Philanthropic Safaris

Dazzle Africa provides a singular, often life-changing safari experience where guests are both immersed in pristine nature where wild elephants and lions roam, and also become part of the community both in Zambia and in the United States as their partnership continues with Dazzle Africa projects well after the safari ends.

Though South Luangwa Valley is pristine wilderness, poaching and other illegal activity is present, as it is in most of Africa and elsewhere. Many iconic species such as elephant, lion, wild painted dogs and others are endangered or under threat. Our projects, implemented by partners on the ground in Zambia, aim to eradicate illegal activity in the area, and provide medical treatment to individual animals who are victims of poaching.

In addition to supporting wildlife in the area, we provide tertiary (post high school) sponsorships for local students and fund boreholes to ensure access to clean water in nearby villages.
