Great Plains Zambezi - Wildlife Ranger Challenge 2026
Great Plains Zambezi team is made up of male and female Wildlife Rangers, dedicated to protecting the critical landscape of the SAPI Reserve in the Mid-Zambezi, Zimbabwe.
Why protect the Mid-Zambezi landscape?
The Sapi Reserve
The Sapi Reserve forms part of the greater Mid-Zambezi landscape, connected to Mana Pools National Park, the wider Lower Zambezi-Mana Pools Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) and the Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Zambia (ZIMOZA) TFCA. Its floodplains and miombo woodlands provide vital habitat and movement corridors for elephants, lions, leopards and African painted dogs, and more, making it an important landscape for biodiversity recovery.
How your support helps
Funds raised through the Wildlife Ranger Challenge will directly support our Wildlife Ranger Programme in Zimbabwe, helping us strengthen and grow our ranger teams across Sapi Reserve within the wider Mid-Zambezi landscape. Contributions will support wellbeing, essential field equipment, further technical training, team and infrastructure development, as well as operational capacity, enabling our teams to respond more effectively to emerging conservation needs as critical wildlife populations recover and move across this important landscape.
