==History==
Beks Ndlovu founded African Bush Camps in 2016. Before starting his safari company, Beks Ndlovu was a professional safari guide working with safari companies in Zimbabwe. However, he believed that the safaris offered needed more flexibility to experience the wonders of the African environment in various ways since they were often overly organized and rigid. Thus, he conceived the idea to establish his safari camp company, where guides could exercise their creativity and imagination. This desire gave birth to Somalisa Camp; the now-award-winning camp began as a modest endeavor to bring together African guides to educate guests about the continent.
African bush camps distinguish themselves by providing unique and immersive safari experiences, such as village visits, paddling, and trekking. The camps are constructed with environmental sustainability and little effect and destruction in mind. Expert guides run the firm with years of experience in the African bush who engage visitors in a discussion by presenting stories that pique their interest.
