Hi Everyone!

Sorry that we’ve been out of touch for so long! Things were crazy over the Christmas/New Year period and we are just now able to sit down and tell you some of our news.

Please read on for more information on what we’ve been up to over the last couple of months, and for updates the Antelope Park and Victoria Falls lion breeding and rehabilitation programmes; the Hwange National Park conservation programme; the Midlands Black Rhino programme, and summaries of how all the cubs are doing!

We’d love to hear back from you with your own news and views, so feel free to drop us a line at any stage! Thanks for all of your dedicated support over the last few months; we appreciate each and every one of you!

Best wishes,

Milena and the African Impact Zimbabwe Team.
