About Shearzone Safaris
TO TRAVEL ZAMBIA IS TO WALK THROUGH A LIVING STORY. ONE WRITTEN BY RIVERS, PLAINS, ITS PEOPLE AND TOLD BY US.
Why the Name Shearzone Safaris
The name Shearzone is inspired by a geological term describing an area where powerful natural forces meet, shift and shape the land over time. In nature, shear zones are places of movement, transformation and resilience — where pressure creates form, character and strength.
For Shearzone Safaris, the name reflects a similar philosophy. Our camps represent the meeting point between wilderness and people, conservation and exploration, tradition and modern safari travel.
Shearzone also speaks to our approach: working respectfully within these dynamic environments rather than against them. We believe the most meaningful safari experiences are born at these intersections—where guests don’t simply observe the wild, but feel connected to it.
The name is a reminder that Zambia’s wilderness is not static. It is alive, evolving and powerful—and so too is our commitment to protecting it while sharing its beauty with the world.
What Inspired the Vision
of Shearzone Safaris
Shearzone Safaris was born from a deep respect for Zambia’s wild places and a belief that safari experiences should be meaningful, personal and rooted in authenticity.
The vision was inspired by a desire to showcase Zambia beyond the obvious—to celebrate it’s vast, untamed landscapes, rich wildlife and the quiet moments that make the bush so powerful. From the beginning, Shearzone Safaris set out to create camps and experiences that honour the land, tell its stories and allow guests to connect genuinely with nature, culture and themselves.
At it’s heart, Shearzone Safaris exists to protect and share Zambia’s natural heritage while delivering thoughtful, immersive journeys where life truly is better in the wild.
The Journey So Far
What began as a focused safari operation has grown into a carefully curated portfolio of camps across some of Zambia’s most remarkable national parks. The journey has been shaped by hands-on involvement, continuous learning and an unwavering commitment to quality and integrity.
From establishing Mozhi Bush Camp in Kafue National Park—set at the confluence of the Moshi and Lufupa Rivers—to expanding into the Lower Zambezi with Nzovu Rundu, and now extending into North and South Luangwa, each step has been intentional. Growth has never been rushed. Instead, every camp has been developed with respect for its environment, its history and the communities around it.
Along the way, Shearzone Safaris has evolved its operations, storytelling and guest experiences—refining standards, deepening its conservation ethos and strengthening its reputation as a proudly Zambian safari brand.
Our Vision for the
Next 15 Years
Looking ahead, Shearzone Safaris aims to become one of Zambia’s most respected safari companies—valued not for scale, but for substance.
Over the next 15 years, the brand will expand thoughtfully across key wilderness areas, creating distinctive camps with their own stories, sense of place, and purpose.
The focus remains on sustainability, conservation partnerships, staff development, and authentic guest experiences that endure. Shearzone Safaris seeks to protect Zambia’s wild spaces while nurturing the next generation of safari professionals and storytellers. Above all, the vision is to stay true to its roots: crafting soulful safaris that celebrate Zambia’s wilderness, honour its legacy, and invite guests to slow down, reconnect, and belong.
