About Dazzle Africa

Dazzle Africa leads unique safaris in the unparalleled wilderness of Zambia, Africa. We have become thoroughly invested in the people, wildlife and communities of Africa and we share it with our guests through “The Modern Safari Experience”. The Modern Safari Experience” is a term we coined at Dazzle Africa to signal that we do things differently than most other operators. Dazzle believes that a safari should be a positive experience for all parties affected even if you don’t see or hear them all.

The Modern Safari Experience brings positive change for the people and areas of the region and gives travelers a deeper safari experience by meeting with conservationists, seeing schools, meeting sponsored students and generally removing the veil between the safari world and local Africans. Modern means that your money gives you an exceptional safari that you will be reminiscing about for years to come and that same money will be used to help the region thrive. In essence, The Modern Safari takes the best of the traditional safari experience and melds it with a greater emphasis on authenticity, connection, and philanthropy.

How did Dazzle Africa Start?

In 2011, six women journeyed to Zambia to witness wild elephants travel through the lobby of the famous Mfuwe Lodge to find their favorite ripened mangoes. Little did they know, their love for the people and the animals of Mfuwe would spark an idea to give back and in turn create Dazzle Africa. On the return flight from Johannesburg to New York, ideas swirled and all of the women decided they could do something to give back to the place that brought them so much joy in such a short period of time. Soon after their return back to the United States, conversations ensued and partnerships were created with local organizations in conservation, education and community development. All six women are still involved today and continue to help Dazzle Africa better grow into the needs of the people and wildlife of Africa year after year to make the biggest difference possible.
