Insider tips, destination guides and wildlife encounters to help you plan the perfect African safari.
Mountain Gorilla Conservation in Zimbabwe (2026)
Mountain gorillas do not naturally occur in Zimbabwe. Their only wild populations live in the Virunga-Bwindi landscape of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where coordinated conservation has helped the population exceed 1,000 while the species remains endangered [1][3].
Conservation Organisations Protecting Uganda’s Wildlife (2026)
Uganda’s wildlife conservation depends on partnerships between the Uganda Wildlife Authority, community organisations, international NGOs and tourism stakeholders. In 2026, priorities include protecting national parks, reducing human–wildlife conflict, disrupting trafficking and restoring threatened species such as rhinos.
Rothschild Giraffe Conservation in Uganda (2026): Status and Action
Uganda is the global stronghold for the Rothschild giraffe, now commonly treated in conservation research as the Nubian giraffe. More than 2,400 Nubian giraffes are estimated in Uganda, but poaching, habitat pressure, human–wildlife conflict and oil development remain ongoing concerns [12].
Protecting Zimbabwe’s National Parks: Conservation Priorities in 2026
Zimbabwe’s national parks rely on government leadership, conservation partnerships, community institutions and sustainable tourism. In 2026, Matusadona’s black-rhino and wild-dog reintroductions, new Hwange-Matetsi-Zambezi funding and landscape-scale corridor work show meaningful progress alongside persistent funding, climate and human-wildlife-conflict challenges.
