Our Story
WRC 24 Team ZAVARU teams up with WRC 24 Team DOMA
Sep 7, 2024, 12:42:02 PMIn any case, Rangers working in the Zambezi Valley landscape team up with each other in response to patrol requirements, poaching incursions and for other duties. On this occasion, Team ZAVARU teamed up with the remotely situated Team DOMA, way in the south-east of the Zambezi Valley protected areas system. A great opportunity for the teams to carry out their 21km trial together!

Team ZAVARU training on the sand!
Aug 20, 2024, 6:29:55 AMIt's always a tough haul to train up and down deep sandy river beds, no less than on this route down the Chewore River, undertaken by a member of Team ZAVARU.
