Hi there, I will start ny saying they run safari camps and lodges in 7 countries in Southern Africa, ranging from Botswana to Zimbabwe. To be country-specific, in the case of Zambia, they run 4 camps in the Kafue National Park, namely: Busanga Bush Camp, Kapinga Camp, Lunga River Lodge and Shumba Camp (I hope this means lion!) In the South Luangwa, they run Kalamu Tented Camp, and at the Victoria Falls, it is the River Club. And they are called Wilderness Safaris. In keeping with their motto, "Our journeys change people's lives," they run Wilderness Safaris runs schools in communities in which it operates, thereby ploughing resources back into the communities in which they operate.
