The conservation of wildlife at Imire began in the 1970s, when Zimbabwean conservationist Norman Travers saw the need to re-introduce game back into the rural areas around his farm in Wedza. During the 1980s, a decade which saw some of the worst rhino poaching in Zimbabwe's history, Norman was awarded custodianship of seven orphaned baby Black Rhino. Thus began Imire's world-renowned Black Rhino breeding programme. In addition, Norman was the first person to habituate the notoriously dangerous African elephant as well as pioneering the breeding of foot-and-mouth free buffalo.
Volunteers at Imire get a behind the scenes look at life on an African wildlife conservancy, and enjoy close interactions with the animals on the reserve. An incredible and unique opportunity to learn more about and contribute to grass-roots conservation.
