Diwa Zambezi

About us

The Diwa Zambezi Conservation Fund came first. After half a decade of returning to the Zambezi Valley for annual trips from Australia, we began to conceive of a way to give back. That way manifested itself as a charity initially registered in Queensland and then later, federally (all of Australia). The charity's foremost mission is to expose foreigners to Southern Africa's wonders, and some of the tribulations it is constantly confronted with. As with any place on earth, all is not always merry in this great southern land. Believe it or not, people will apply for mining tenements in national parks, they will ignore the pleas for ecology studies, they will give preservation of a wilderness area and developing it for agriculture equal weight and they will ignore the poaching threat until it is too late. Ultimately the Diwa Zambezi Conservation Fund is raising money in order to acquire or lease a wilderness concession in Southern Africa which will be operated as a non-profit wildlife tourism venture, with conservation of habitats a central focus.
