More than just a safari
Just returned from a family vacation in Africa. We spent a week in Mfuwe and South Luangwa National Park and it was amazing. We just had to get ourselves to Lusaka and Dazzle took care of literally everything else. So many animals and such amazing and varied landscapes. Food was healthy and tasty. Sunsets were insane and we enjoyed them while sipping on our choice of beverage at the evening sundowner. Lodges were super comfortable with amazing views. One great aspect of going with Dazzle Africa is the fact they are a non-profit that does a lot of work in the town of Mfuwe and with various animal protection/conservation organizations to help ensure the people of Mfuwe have a better life and that the abundant wildlife stays that way for generations to come. Highly recommend and we will be going back.

Life Changing Philanthropy Experience
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!

I would give more than five stars if I could!
I have been to a few African safaris but my trip to Zambia was THE TRIP OF MY LIFETIME! Stacy, Ami and the whole Dazzle Africa team were the dream team to bring you a dream trip to Africa. Everything exceeded my expectation – from the spectacular accommodations at Mfuwe Lodge and the bushcamps, some of the best cuisines I have ever had, knowledgeable safari guides, to the unforgettable stargazing experience in the African savannah. I will never forget seeing African wild dogs, a critically endangered species. Highlights of my trip were numerous. We visited local wildlife conservation organizations, a secondary school and a village where we interacted with local people, experienced genuine African warmth and hospitality. I am most impressed by Dazzle Africa’s giving back projects that make a positive difference for the wildlife and local communities. You can find tens of thousands of safari tours at any given day across the African continent but not many are as committed to the philanthropic cause as Dazzle Africa. Safari with a purpose is what sets Dazzle Africa apart.

An amazing philanthropic safari!
My experience with Dazzle Africa has been life-changing. From my very first safari trip with them six years ago till today 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.

Tour of a lifetime
To say that my trip to Zambia was THE TRIP OF MY LIFETIME is an understatement. 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 who 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 I met 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.

Philanthropic Safari with breathtaking sites and memories that will last a lifetime.
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!”

Best trip of my life!
The Dazzle Africa Safari in Zambia was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The trip was planned to perfection (literally every little detail was thought of) and the lodge, staff, and food were superb. Witnessing the circle of life first hand, along with technology detox, brought a presence to my day that I haven’t experienced in a very long time. People say going to Africa is going to change your life and I didn’t believe them. I was wrong. The trip left me changed for the better, with a wider perspective on life, and an inspiration to give back to those in need. I left Zambia feeling rejuvenated, motivated, and spiritually fit. Since the trip, I have already gone back to Africa, and plan to make it a yearly trip.

Everything was fantastic!
The Dazzle Africa Safari was the best and most amazing trip we have ever taken. We were drawn to Africa by the animals and we saw many on our twice daily drives. Scores of species of birds, crocodiles waiting for a meal, lions mating and feasting and elephants of all sizes.
The bonus was meeting with locals in the community, visiting schools and conservation centers for protection of endangered animals and visiting a village. We got to see close up how the contributions to Dazzle Africa help. Locals showing us how the dart guns filled with chili powder keep the elephants out of the villages. A mention of our visit to a village where a Dazzle Africa financed well has brought clean water to town cannot capture the joy of the little children who wanted to welcome us. The drivers of our Range Rovers explained the interdependency of the land and the animals. They could spot a bird or animal at a distance and then get us closer so we could see too. We became friends.
The two bush camps were far from primitive; each had its own bathroom and screens to keep out the baboons and small, thieving monkeys. We could watch elephants coming to drink in the stream from our deck and from pool at the Mfuwe lodge.
It was a memorable trip in every way.

Top notch experience that goes above and beyond the traditional safari
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!
