Mozambique’s Slice Of Paradise

When travelling through Zinave National Park, one might ask how it is possible that pieces of paradise like this still exist. Lush green wetlands teeming with life, glades of baobabs with their finger-like branches reaching up to the sky, the magnificent Save River carving its way through the landscape and wildlife, both big and small, dot the expansive plains.

Even more remarkable is that less than half a decade ago, the sights we see today may have seemed like nothing more than a dream. Zinave has gone from being a hunting concession in the 1960s to being declared a protected area in 1972. Shortly thereafter, it suffered years of conflict where the wildlife population was decimated for bush meat to the thriving wilderness haven we see today.

Peace Parks Foundation’s CEO, Werner Myburgh, reflects on how far the park has come in the last few years and celebrates the historic conservation milestones achieved in 2022.
