Loziba Wildlife Reserve – Reclaiming an African Wilderness for the animals
There is a vast wilderness on the South Eastern tip of Africa, in the Zulu Kingdom of Kwa-Zulu Natal…
It was once the home of rhinos and elephants, but for many years the land supported only one species… the humans.
Humans conjured the spectre of extinction for all except themselves, until slowly they came to realise that no species is an island unto itself.
Without diversity, we all die.
We have to find a way to share and live together so that all sentient beings can thrive and multiply.
Now we have the opportunity to welcome the rhinos and the elephants back . We have a chance to acquire the land, fence it so that the animals will be safe again, ensure that everyone, animal and human can have a good living.
We are the generation that can drive extinction back into the shadows.
The Loziba Wildlife Reserve and the surrounding Loziba Community Conservancy, will bring communities and animals together for the benefit of both.
Join the war on extinction. You can invest in or donate to this project and be a part of history.
Why does Loziba Wildlife Reserve need funding?
In order to protect the elephants and save the land for the various animals that need it to avoid extinction, Loziba Wildlife Reserve needs funding…
Loziba Wildlife Reserve is a legacy investment , with the ultimate goal being a core 30,000 – 40 000 Ha wildlife sanctuary for endangered iconic species, including Elephant, Black Rhino, White Rhino and Giraffe.
Fencing, monitoring and patrolling are all part of the plans for keeping poachers out and animals in. Local communities, quite rightfully, get very upset by large and destructive animals wandering onto their ploughed lands and helping themselves. We have to take all points of view into consideration.
Whilst the targeted landscape is still pristine, there are still large parts of the proposed reserve that has been neglected and needs clearing of invasive species and the development of necessary infrastructure required for the preservation of endangered species.
One of the best ways to secure the animals' future is through the education of children in surrounding communities. Children take our conservation messages home and share it with their families. This way we've helped to reduce poaching and encouraged an appreciation for our shared African wildlife heritage.
Loziba(Pty)Ltd has already completed an enormous amount of planning, including General Reserve Management Plans, Tourism Management Plans, Constitutions, site mapping etc
While many specialists and professionals have given generously of their time, we still need detailed planning and authorisations.
As soon as possible, we want to move the Elephants and remaining animals from where they are at risk of poaching, neglect, over-crowding and human encroachment to the Loziba Wildlife Reserve, where they can be safe and free. We particularly want to offer our herd of 40 plus elephants and the highly endangered black rhinos a safe haven.

“My generation and those following are acutely aware that we cannot simply carry on as we are. We have to move faster and more effectively to find ways to balance our demands on this planet with the nature we share it with."
Prince William
“Are we happy to suppose that our children will never see an elephant except in a picture book?"
Sir David Attenborough
“Nature doesn't need people – people need nature; nature would survive the extinction of the human being and go on just fine, but human culture, human beings, cannot survive without nature"
Harrison Ford
