Zambia Luxury Lodge Collection (ZLLC), owner of Chichele Presidential Lodge, Lolebezi Safari Lodge, Lolelunga Private Reserve and Puku Ridge, will assume full operational management and lead the commercial strategy for all four properties from January 1, 2027.
The move follows a partnership with African Bush Camps, which helped establish the four properties in the luxury safari market.
Until December 31, 2026, African Bush Camps will continue to manage and operate Lolebezi Safari Lodge and retain exclusive sales and marketing responsibility for the property.
From January 1, 2027, ZLLC, as owner brand, will take full operational responsibility for all four properties, including inventory, reservations and guest experience, while also leading the commercial strategy across the portfolio.
African Bush Camps will continue to promote and sell Lolebezi, Chichele Presidential Lodge, Puku Ridge and Lolelunga as a non-exclusive sales and marketing partner.
According to the companies, the collaborative sales and marketing model intends to expand market reach, provide greater flexibility to trade partners and strengthen Zambia’s position as one of Africa’s leading luxury safari destinations.
The companies confirmed that all existing bookings will be honoured as booked with unchanged itineraries, rates and guest experiences. Agents can continue working with their existing contacts at African Bush Camps or ZLLC.
