How a Former Swiss Banker Found Her Calling in the African Bush

Co-founded by Fabia Bausch and her partner, Nicolas Negre, Chem Chem Safari owns and operates three camps: Chem Chem Lodge (opened in 2011), Little Chem Chem Safari Camp (2013), and Forest Chem Chem (2018). All three venues are located on the 50,000-acre Burunge Wildlife Management Area in Tanzania. Chem Chem Safari and its philanthropic arm, Chem Chem Association, were simultaneously founded in 2008. There was a time in her previous banking career when Bausch never would’ve imagined managing safari camps and overseeing a sprawling wildlife and cultural preservation efforts. She credits her employees for educating her.
