Travel with purpose

The Zambezi Valley is both our workplace and our neighbourhood. Part of how we work is to support the children and wildlife of the Kariba district, and to support the organisations protecting this landscape.

The Smiling Children of MalaRun under the Mala Charity Foundation, helping with primary school fees, supplies and support for vulnerable children in rural Kariba.
Vulture rehabilitation and wildlife protectionProtecting endangered vultures in the Zambezi Valley. They are ecological indicators and help detect poaching.
Conservation organisations we supportThe Tashinga Initiative (ranger welfare and anti-poaching), Zambezi Elephant Fund (elephant habitat), Kariba Animal Welfare Fund Trust (wildlife rescue) and Wild Zambezi (eco-conscious travel standards).

Contributions are optional. Choosing one only adds it to your inquiry. Nothing is collected on this website.

Your Zambezi journey starts with a conversation.

Tell us where you want to go and who is travelling. We will help shape the rest.
