Conservation Efforts at the Matetsi River Lodge, Zimbabwe

VICTORIA FALLS, Zimbabwe - Nov. 14, 2019 - PRLog -- "Today, I stand overlooking a waterhole teeming with life: countless buffalo (my father says over a 1,000), a breeding herd of elephants – one baby is probably only 2 months old, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, black-backed jackal scurrying around (the side-striped species are found further down the vlei where we've seen the reedbuck), and in the background are three skulking hyenas.

The lions aren't in sight, but I suspect they are not far away. As our knowledgeable ranger guides always say, "if you want to find the lion, follow the buffalo." The hundreds (maybe thousands) of buffalo that roam the area are ample (and preferred) prey for the 3 (+?) separate prides of lion that move through this vast wilderness, Matetsi Private Game Reserve.

Though don't let the name fool you. There are no fences, and the wildlife roam freely between this area and the neighbouring wildlife areas. The privacy is ensured by exclusive traversing rights across the concession (or conservancy, as some might call it) – which is essentially the same size as its neighbouring national park."

Conservation efforts in game reserves are no easy feat. Between fighting poachers, understanding natural ecosystems, maintaining access to remote sections of the reserve, and creating a physical and communicative infrastructure - it's a lot of work. The Victoria Falls River Lodge (https://matetsivictoriafalls.com/), however, seems to manage, with the caring love and attention it gets from the family who runs it.
