Mama ‘Out of Africa’

“Africa has her mysteries, and even a wise man cannot understand them.
But a wise man respects them.”
— Miriam Makeba

Your Out of Africa Dream
on the Banks of the magnificent Zambezi River

The Mama Out of Africa set amongst Riverine Trees. Right on the river’s edge, when the river is high you can fish from your deck..

Epic History 

The Mama Out of Africa was once a mobile dressing room for Out of Africa  film cast– the romantic, academy award-winning film starring Meryl Streep  and Robert Redford. For quite some time it was a 
mobile safari vehicle exploring the best wildlife parks in Africa. 

Immersive, Romantic and Serene 

Very often a parade of elephants and buffalo herds come to graze and  drink  across the river and hippos are seen wallowing in the water. Hyenas  and hippos can be heard during the night and from time to time a lion may  interrupt your slumber with its call. A symphony set to make you feel part of  the African Bush. 

Information

The structure was rebuilt a couple of times and many will still know the rustic Mama under thatch.

The original Mama is now a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen on one side and an en-suite bedroom on the other side.

A second story has been added with two bedrooms with a fully-enclosed structure.
