Our Landscape Areas
Chirisa Safari Area
Currently the Chirisa Safari Area includes both the Sengwa Research Area and the remainder of Chirisa Safari Area, two separate concessions and management units. The exceptional resources for the conservation area are classified into four categories – Environmental, Scenic, Social and Cultural. The total area size is 145,400 hectares, the area previously being home to 3000 buffalo 15 years ago, to 400 today. The area being 92% surrounded by human population makes the rehabilitation and management of Chirisa the heart of the landscape.
Sengwa Research
The 37,800 hectares research area, which is currently a hunting area was previously a respected and well-known wildlife research facility. With an excess of 100 scientific papers having been written, at well-established infrastructure, highly qualified staff and a solid infrastructure, the research centre is critical to the landscape and its biodiversity development.
Nyakasanga Safari Area
The Nyakasanga safari area, formerly a pool area, was privately leased in 2014 for 25 years. All sub-leases within this area are set to become part of the lease as and when they expire. The Safari Area is part of the Lower Zambezi Mana Pools LOZAMAP TFCA, a UNESCO world heritage site and the mid-Zambezi Biosphere Reserve.
The Nyakasanga safari area is renowned for sustainable harvesting and is one of, if not the best big game areas in Zimbabwe. With 40km of Zambezi River frontage, scenic landscape and significant biodiversity benefits, it too is a necessity of the unique Fair Share living landscape.
Kariba
The Kariba project connects 3 National Parks and 8 Safari Reserves to create a giant biodiversity corridor in northern Zimbabwe. Spanning and conserving an area of 7,850km2 in the iconic Zambezi Valley, the project directly benefits >200,000 indigenous Zimbabweans living in impoverished and under-developed communities. This project covers four Rural District Councils – Hurungwe, Nyaminyami, Mbire & Binga.
Our Rural Districts
The District Councils
The rural councils link the areas of the landscape, providing the last possible remaining wildlife corridors between nationally protected and insufficiently protected wildlife areas. With these communities being some of the poorest in Africa, the landscape is their livelihoods, and their futures depend on this model, ensuring the area is returned to a sustainable state under the correct guardianship for future generations to benefit from what is rightfully theirs.
