Meet Abe Nzuza. 🌿
For guests at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge, a visit to the Mpembeni community is an opportunity to understand a little more about the people, history and conservation story of this part of KwaZulu-Natal.
Led by Isibindi Foundation Project Coordinator Abe Nzuza, our cultural tours include a visit to the Community Conservation Centre, where Abe shares the remarkable story of conservation in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, including the legacy of Operation Rhino.
It’s a chance to step beyond the safari vehicle, spend time in the neighbouring community and hear these stories from someone who has spent decades working in conservation and alongside the communities that surround the reserve.
Because there is so much more to this place than what you see on a game drive. 🌍
