Our Story
Ntumbe is situated at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the dramatic and wildlife-abundant Zambezi Valley, adjacent to the renowned Mana Pools National Park. As one of Zimbabwe’s most remote and rugged protected regions, its best-known feature is a unique and remarkably well-preserved series of dinosaur trackways.
Historically managed as a trophy hunting concession, Ntumbe—formerly known as Chewore South—is being transformed through a long-term partnership between the Chewore Conservation Trust (CCT) and the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks). This collaboration creates a rare opportunity to test emerging nature finance tools in a biodiverse, politically supported, and logistically viable setting, making Ntumbe a living laboratory for scalable, ground-tested conservation solutions.
Our first non-hunting commercial safari was hosted in Chewore South in 2026, marking a major milestone in Ntumbe’s transition away from a model funded by trophy hunting toward a conservation model sustained by low-impact tourism and other innovative funding mechanisms.
Ntumbe has entered a new era where biodiversity conservation, community development, and eco-tourism take center stage.
