About Us

Mission Statement

Our mission is to revitalise the Kaburi-Moto concession in the Kariba Basin by rebuilding essential infrastructure, protecting wildlife so natural populations can recover, support surrounding communities and monitoring the landscape to ensure that its biodiversity is safeguarded for generations to come.

Where we are

Our 20-year rehabilitation project covers 29,590ha of the rugged Kaburi-Moto concession within the protected area of the Zambezi Escarpment in Kariba’s eastern basin.

This rugged landscape remains untouched and offers unparalleled wilderness ranging from the famous Zambezi escarpment mountains to Kariba lakeshore frontage. Along with exquisite scenery we support the big 4: lion, leopard, elephant and cape buffalo along with a wide variety of plains game.

The Kaburi-Moto safari area falls within the designated national parks of Zimbabwe. We are privileged to have secured a 20-year lease for this area, offering us the invaluable opportunity to rehabilitate its ecosystems. Our efforts are focused on re-establishing road networks, revitalizing old infrastructure, and maintaining a consistent anti-poaching presence on the ground. Through these initiatives, we aim to encourage the steady recovery of wildlife populations and restore the abundance that once defined this landscape.
