Wearing white on safari is generally not suggested…solid white doesn’t easily occur in nature & you don’t want to be too visible & scare wildlife away🦒But when you're in the lodge itself, you can show off your most glamorous outfits & we suggest you make the most of it!

With this kind of experience, we know our guests are in safe hands with Adrian Sianjobo🦏Before he joined Tongabezi as a security officer, Adrian used to safeguard one of our most vulnerable mammals - the rhino!

We love all things to be natural at Tongabezi, including our lighting, which is designed to remind you of a campfire & of the stars✨This is so that you know you are in a wild & precious place, where humans are allowed, but just for now

Visit tongabezischool where your ‘guides’ might look a little different than the rest of your safari 😄Our symbiotic relationship with Tujatane brings joy to our guests from around the world who in turn they share their support📷Stepan Vrzala Photography & Exalt Afrika

So proud of you & fortunate to have you as part of the Tongabezi team, Chris! travelessencemag.com/christian-muzh…

Meet Telus Moyo. The Moyo’s are a huge part of the Tongabezi story-Telus’ father & uncle were part of our 1st team. We love to see Telus taking Tongabezi's legacy, which is also his family’s legacy towards an exciting & sustainable future, with homemade compost & homegrown veg🍄

Some people seem to feel that sunsets must have clouds to be magical… what do you think? 😇📷 Stepan Vrzala Photography & Exalt Afrika

Did you know that Tongabezi has flooded a number of times? We were ever so optimistic about our position on the very edge of the riverbanks in 1990, but since then we have raised most of the lodge so that we overlook the Zambezi even when it floods📷The CucKoo Project

Who recognises this mile-wide
smile?🤩Douglas Mwaanga is an excellent guide-before he came to Tongabezi, Douglas was a walking & bicycle tour guide. He has passion for wildlife but if you want to see him at max energy levels, mention Man United because he's a big soccer fan.

We don’t believe in anything as
strongly as this heron believes that hippos are herbivores… don’t worry, they ARE actually herbivores! This award-winning photo was taken by Jean Jaques #wildlifewednesday

We just adore this chandelier by Katundu-it brings light in the dark & a dramatic darkness in the light. It was hand-made by talented ladies on Likoma Island, very close to our sister property Kaya Mawa 👉greensafaris.com/kaya-mawa/📷Stepan Vrzala & Exalt Afrika

As the Mukuni Community Farm grows, so do the smiles of the community members working on the farm. Here they learn about sustainable farming techniques & directly benefit from the produce they grow on site!

Did you know that when we built
Tongabezi (way back in 1990), we made sure to keep every tree in its original place? That's why our main areas are all sorts of interesting shapes & sizes: to work around our natural habitat🌱greensafaris.com/tongabezi/

Did you know that African crocodiles can reach
swimming speeds of up to 35 km/hour? Luckily, you will always watch these scaled beauties from 1of our lovely power boats or the comfort of a lodge deck😂

Have you met Lwembe? Lwembe is the Tongabezi Duty Manager & believes in kindness & empathy above all else💚She is an incredible role model to her teenage daughter, who is her favourite travel companion! greensafaris.com/tongabezi/

We’ve come a long way from red oxide-covered floors & bucket showers… but we like to think we’ve kept the soul of Tongabezi in the little details. What do you think? greensafaris.com/tongabezi/

If you wake up very early, before even the sunrise, you can experience the Zambezi
River before her eyes are fully open... it can feel as though you're the only people in the world🌅📷Chase Björnson

We proudly balance comfort & wilderness at Tongabezi & Sindabezi. None of it would be possible without incredible team members like Gift. He has been part of our family with since 2017 & he hopes to graduate to become a Senior Carpenter within the next 3 years.

This is a favourite lunch spot at our sister property Sindabezi Island Camp. It's the perfect blend of sunshine & shade in the middle of the day & not too far from the pool! 👉greensafaris.com/sindabezi/ 📷 Alex Schon

We may have fun with our colour schemes & interior design details at Tongabezi…but we’re not embarrassed to say that mother nature puts us to shame every day🌼📷Stepan Vrzala & Exalt Afrika
