In the Luangwa Valley, conservation is not only about protecting wildlife and wild landscapes—it is also about supporting the people who live alongside them.
At Muchinga Adventures Ltd, more than 50% of all edible meat from our safaris is donated and delivered free of charge each year to local communities and to the scouts who work tirelessly in the field. For many families, this provides a valuable and reliable source of protein—something that is not always easily accessible in remote areas.
This is one of the often-unseen contributions of sustainable, regulated hunting. Quotas are set through scientific assessment, ensuring that wildlife populations remain healthy and resilient. Within this framework, the use of harvested animals is maximised—nothing is wasted, and the benefits are shared.
By providing legally sourced meat, pressure on illegal bushmeat hunting is reduced, helping to protect wildlife populations over the long term. At the same time, it strengthens relationships with communities, ensuring that conservation is something that is supported, valued, and lived.
For Managing Director Johnny du Plooy and the team, this has always been a quiet but important part of the work—ensuring that conservation delivers real, tangible value on the ground.
We remain mindful that this is not something to speak loudly about, but rather something to do consistently, respectfully, and with purpose.
Because when conservation works well, it benefits both wildlife and people.
