Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma

Our Abercrombie and Kent Safari booked at this stunning lodge. Our experience was fantastic from the minute we stepped in for the orientation (complete with a refreshing drink) to the moment we reluctantly check-out. The Manager, Ingrid, runs a tight ship so the white linens are perfectly pressed, the rooms immaculate and food so beautiful and delicious it is worthy of a Michelin star. Highlights include time with the knowlegable local guide, Edward. From his experience growing up in a local village combined with his passion for conservation he created a life-changing experience for us. We toured the local village, purchased handmade glass bead necklaces from Sishemo and learned about the library and maternity ward supported in part with funds from Abercrombie and Kent. Edward expertly guided us through the wildlife park and kept us safe during our walk with the rhinoceros. Finally a day on the Zambezi river was safe and education at the hands of expert boatman Edward. The animals are within view from the lodge but kept at bay for the safety of the guests. My favorite evening was tasting local foods while sipping cocktails and watching the resident hippo pod.
