Home to 22 large mammal species, the Simalaha Wildlife Conservancy features open plains and mopane forests where it’s not uncommon to see hundreds of wildebeest, zebra and red lechwe grazing peacefully alongside the cattle of local tribesmen. Wildlife frequently spotted includes giraffe, buffalo, zebra, ostrich, eland, sable antelope, reedbuck, duiker, wildebeest, red lechwe, puku, hartebeest, impala and waterbuck - and sometimes, elephant!

Your support means everything! The Simahala Conservancy is a truly unique and important initiative, rooted in the vision and leadership of the indigenous Lozi community. Unlike privately owned conservancies, Simahala is a community-driven conservation project — created by the people, for the people and the land they call home. The community’s deep commitment to preserving this ecosystem deserves our support. Every night you book contributes directly to sustaining this effort and empowering those who live here.

Thank you for the poignant image ✨
