“My first Dazzle Africa safari changed how I think of going on safari. Most photo safari tourism is good for the local economy and for the wildlife, but Dazzle Africa takes it to another level. I was so blown away to see how integrated with the village Dazzle staff/volunteers are. On safari, I got to see projects that my safari dollars helped fund, meet interesting and impactful people who are working hard to protect the wildlife in South Luangwa, and even hang out with a gaggle of super smiley school kids! I also found that during the time leading up to the trip, Dazzle Africa tended to all the tiny details that made the trip a breeze to go on. They are super personal. I said in the first sentence that my first Dazzle safari changed how I think of going on safari. I said “first” because there was a second, and there will be many more!”

“This past summer I had the opportunity to travel to Zambia with a group of women representing Dazzle Africa and their philanthropy. It was such an amazing experience to actually see the money I had raised for this nonprofit at work. Aside from the amazing animals in the park, which I will get to in just a moment, Dazzle Africa has truly made a difference in Zambia with their conservation efforts to reduce poaching and bring clean water and better education to the people of Zambia among many other efforts to create an enriching life for the ecosystem and the surrounding natives. As far as the Safari tours, it’s incredible to ride around in a truck and check out all the amazing animals, but what’s more impressive are the guides and their care for nature, animals and best practices in their environment. Not to mention the plethora of knowledge that they bring to the game drives. Dazzle Africa is truly one of the better nonprofits I’ve ever known. Their passion and determination to create harmony between the animals and the native people in Zambia are remarkable. I now have such a passion for this area and its people. I can’t wait to go back and take more of this breathtaking place in!”

“A Dazzle Africa safari is much more than a game drive. Of course, the guides are excellent and Zambia holds plenty of prime viewing spots. South Luangwa is a beautiful, unspoiled area with fantastic sunsets. What you experience outside of the safari vehicle means even more. You meet the people of Mfuwe and learn about their culture. You hear stories from wildlife rangers and conservationists. You have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and endangered species. You and your fellow travellers become part of the Dazzle family. A Dazzle vacation will change your life, immediately and forever.”

“For as long as I’ve been able to remember, visiting Africa and experiencing its captivating wildlife and culture was a personal dream of mine. Not only did Dazzle help me finally fulfil that dream, but they went above and beyond in creating an incredible, life-changing adventure! The serene animal-filled game drives, the charming visit to a Zambian village, and the eye-opening trip to a local school all provided exciting, fun, and humbling experiences that awoke in me a newfound sense of wisdom about the ways different walks of life exist together on this planet. The most beautiful thing about Dazzle Africa is Stacy and her group’s understanding that Zambia is not only a place worth seeing, but one worth protecting as well. I’m incredibly grateful that I was given the opportunity to learn about how we can help the irreplaceable animals and people there, and support them through Dazzle’s amazing projects. I wouldn’t have traded this trip for anything in the world, and I can’t wait to go back!”

“My experience with Dazzle Africa has been life-changing. From my very first safari trip with them six years ago till today, I am still travelling with them. Their safaris are planned to perfection, not a single detail is overlooked. The relationships they have within the community in Zambia and witnessing firsthand the difference they are making through philanthropic efforts makes the experience all that much better. Having the options of visiting with their conservation partners and the local schools and villages in Zambia makes the trip so much more than just a luxury safari. Not only will you have an incredible safari experience you will become part of the amazing Dazzle Africa family.”

“To say that my trip to Zambia was THE TRIP OF MY LIFETIME is an understatement. Stacy, Ami and the whole Dazzle Africa crew expertly put everything in place to create an exhilarating experience and permanent fond memories. Mfuwe Lodge and the bush camp offered comfortable accommodations, delicious cuisine and a staff that became my friends and catered to a guest’s every need. Our Safari guides ensured that we realistically experienced the animals and nature of the park and tailored every drive and walk to our particular interests. A true highlight of my trip was that Dazzle created opportunities for us to visit a secondary school and a village where we were able to meet and be with the warm and charming local people. I am proud to support Dazzle Africa and their numerous projects that are making a huge difference for the wildlife and people of Zambia.”

“My life changed after visiting the beauty of Zambia in ways I was not expecting. I saw everything from a tiny bee to the magnificent elephant and met kind and electrifying local people of all ages. Being with Dazzle Africa sparked a wonder and thirst to educate myself on the lifestyles of children who didn’t have the luxuries I had growing up, such as eating healthy meals. Mostly, Dazzle Africa reignited my passion to save animals from unnecessary suffering by educating us about the dangers of poaching. I am forever grateful to the leaders who head Dazzle Africa for helping me fall in love with Africa so deeply that I’ve been twice!”
