Isibindi Africa Lodges, a bouquet of luxury eco-lodges situated in some of Southern Africa’s most remote and majestic areas, is owned and run by Brett and Paige Gehren (former game ranger and environmental economist respectively). Three of the lodges are located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and one across the border in Zimbabwe, just upstream from Victoria Falls. Isibindi – meaning ‘courage’ in Zulu - offers an extraordinary immersion into nature’s untamed beauty.

But it’s not only the locations that make Isibindi unique; it’s also the delicious food, the people who work there, the partnerships with local communities, and the way the lodges bridge the gap between conservation and tourism. It is a model that has provided both Isibindi and these wild places with the sustainability they need.

As you read this cookbook, journey through Isibindi’s wild and wonderful lodges, take note of the friendly staff, the more than 80 delicious and heartfelt recipes, and the community and conservation projects that help ensure a bright future for these remarkable places.
