Discover Chilombo Safaris

Fully Tailor-Made Private Safaris (No Templates)

We build all our trips from scratch around our clients needs. We design around our clients pace, interests, and travel style (luxury lodges, camping, or a mix of both).

Owner-Led Expertise with 20+ Years on the Ground

Our clients aren’t handed off to sales teams! We use our 20+ years combined industry experience and

nearly a decade of firsthand travel across Southern & East Africa to let your Dream of visiting Africa come true!

Our experience translates into real insight and not brochure knowledge. 

Swiss Precision Meets African Hospitality

A rare combination:

Our Swiss co-owner stands for efficiency, reliability, high standards and attention to detail 

Our Zimbabwean co-owner stands for deep regional knowledge, warmth and authentic hospitality

This blend is memorable and differentiating.

Direct Booking means Better Value & Flexibility

We don't use middlemen or incoming agents:

We have direct relationships with lodges and local partners which means we are faster in confirming bookings and able to handle changes.

Further we are more competitive in our pricing without sacrificing quality 

Fast and personal Communication

Our response times are within hours not days! Clients deal directly with decision-makers, which builds trust and reduces friction.

Flexible Travel Style: Lodge and Authentic Camping

We are not locked into one format:

• Comfortable lodge stays 
• Authentic, well-run camping experiences 
• Ability to combine both in one trip 

This widens your appeal significantly.

High-Quality and well-maintained equipment

Reliable vehicles and gear means safety, comfort, and peace of mind — especially important in remote areas.

Our camping equipment is well-maintained and all our tailor work is done by small local businesses.

Fresh and locally prepared food on Safari

We cater for our guests whenever possible to give them the real African experience:

We use fresh and local ingredients, are thoughtful in our food preparation preparation and add a personal, premium touch.

Our clients are involved in our food preparations and our show-cooking on the open-fire place is legendary.

Small and owner-operated means more Care and more Flexibility

Because you’re small:

• We can give more attention to each client and their needs
• We have greater flexibility on the ground 
• We are always willing to “go the extra mile” to give our clients an unforgettable experience.
