With Jessica Brühwiler as your host

My love for Africa began as a childhood dream—and became reality in 2021 with my first trip to Namibia. Since then, this continent has deeply moved me with its wild beauty, its diversity, and the encounters with its people. By now, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to Africa fourteen times.

From this passion grew the desire to share these experiences and to create journeys that don’t just show places, but truly touch the soul.

I’m excited to take you along on a special journey—full of powerful impressions, genuine encounters, and lasting memories.

What Makes This Journey Special

Discover the green season

We will be among the very first guests as the camps reopen after the rainy season in April. The landscape feels untouched, fresh, and full of life.

This time of year brings vibrant greenery, clear air, and a sense of renewal across the wilderness. With pleasant temperatures — neither too hot nor too cold — it’s the perfect moment to experience Zambia at its most beautiful and authentic.

From Lusaka to the iconic Lower Zambezi and the wild Kafue

Zambia is one of those destinations in Africa, that are criminally underrated. 30% of the country are safeguarded for natural protection. Yet, the tourism volume is still low compared to other African destinations. You’ll be treated to incredible wildlife sightings in unparalleled privacy & seclusion.

With the Kafue and Lower Zambezi National Parks we’re combining two of the most iconic parks in Zambia. 3 nights in Kafue and 6 nights in Lower Zambezi will give us enough time to truly immerse ourselves in the wilderness

What Stays With You

Many expect the highlights to be the spectacular wildlife sightings — lions, elephants, the dramatic moments. And of course, those are unforgettable.

Yet what lingers are the quieter experiences. The shifting light across the landscape, distant sounds in the wild, the small details so easily overlooked.

There is a feeling that’s hard to put into words — the warmth of the morning sun, the crisp air, a first drink at sunset after a day immersed in nature.

It is in these simple, unassuming moments that the experience becomes truly extraordinary.

A few facts about the trip.

  • The price of CHF 6'700 is valid for one person staying in a tent shared by two. We have a maximum of 4 tents available in each camp that can be set up as twins or doubles. 

  • A minimum of 6 participants is necessary for the trip to happen. A maximum of 8 participants can join the trip. If the minimum group doesn’t come together you will be fully refunded any down payments.

  • The price includes all 10 nights in the camps as stated above, transfers, domestic flights incl. departure tax, meals as stated above, drinks (on safari), activities, park entrance fees.

  • Given that we only have a maximum of 4 tents available per camp we will have to arrange shared tents for singles traveling. This prevents us from charging a singles surcharge.

  • We will have a private game vehicle on drives. If the group exceeds 6 participants we will be split up in 2 safari vehicles when we go on game drives. This guarantees a maximum of space in the vehicle and that you can fully enjoy wildlife sightings and also have the chance for proper wildlife photography. In this case Jessica will join each car separately every day to make sure every guest gets to spend time with her.

  • Food will be shared at a communal table together every day.

Our travel partners

This trip wouldn’t be possible without the expertise of my partners Classic Zambia.

All the camps we’re staying at during this trip are part of Classic Zambia. The Classic Zambia founders Kyle, Luke, Tyrone and Phil represent the next generation of the safari industry in Zambia. Together they aim for authentic safaris, that are expertly led and have a strong conservation focus. I can personally vouch for their philosophy and the quality of their safaris!
