Who We Are
The Malilangwe Trust is a proudly Zimbabwean, non-profit organisation. Our conservation activities are focused within 50 000 ha of the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve in south-eastern Zimbabwe. We are committed to several projects which contribute to uplifting the lives of people who live in our neighbouring communities along the borders of the Reserve.
Since establishment of The Malilangwe Trust in 1994, our goal is to develop and implement methods for successful conservation and protection of wildlife, with the aim of becoming a leader in science-based management of African protected areas. Through education and tourism, our hope is to inspire people to become ambassadors for conservation.

Perhaps that is Africa’s greatest trick…she lets you leave, but never quite lets you go. ♥️

Blooming beautiful. 🌸🌱
The recent rains have transformed the bush, triggering an explosion of flowers, colour and enticing scents across the landscape.
Wildlife is drawn to this seasonal abundance, with nectar, pollen and fresh growth providing a valuable source of food tor the many creatures.

A lovely moment at the water’s edge.
For this black rhino, it was simply time to drink.
Comfortable enough to share the water with the life around it, yet never completely unaware of its surroundings.
Black rhinos have acute hearing, and even while drinking, those distinctive ears are constantly working; rotating, gathering information and processing the sounds around them.
Oblivious to the around-the-clock protection and support team working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure its long-term survival. It simply drinks.
And that, in many ways, is exactly the point.

The herd settles in, beneath the high sun - this is the place to be.

A little rain, a welcome reprieve.
A recent sprinkle across Malilangwe has cooled the reserve, settled the dust and brought a moment of relief from the heat. And for the birds, it’s the perfect opportunity to pause, preen and enjoy the cool relief.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest and more elusive residents that delight us the most.🦎
Easy to overlook and remarkably well camouflaged, chameleons are anything but ordinary. Independently moving eyes, a lightning-fast tongue and remarkable colour-changing abilities make them masters of adaptation and disguise.

One continent, hundreds of teams and one shared purpose.
Last Saturday was the final #WildlifeRangerChallenge 21km run. A huge congratulations to every team who took on the challenge. The kilometres may have ended, but the commitment to protecting Africa’s wildlife continues every day.
We are incredibly proud of our Scouts and grateful to everyone who supported them throughout the Challenge. Their effort, determination and camaraderie are a reflection of the commitment they bring to their work at Malilangwe every day.
Our thanks also goes to our @gonarezhou neighbours for hosting the final run this year, and of course to everyone who got involved in last Saturday’s event - colleagues, friends, members of the local community, family and supporters. Your encouragement and participation made the day all the more meaningful.

Four paws in the water is an important part of recovery🐾🐾
As high-endurance pursuit predators, African wild dogs can experience a dramatic rise in body temperature during extended, fast chases. After intense exertion, they use a combination of strategies for shedding excess heat including heavy panting, strategic rest and seeking out water for wading and mud wallowing.
Those remarkable ears play their part too. Packed with an extensive network of blood vessels, they provide a large surface area through which heat can be released to the surrounding air.
