In the heart of Southern Mozambique, where the vibrant landscapes dance with the rhythms of nature, lies an urgent battle being fought to protect the continent’s most magnificent creatures. The Tsala Safaris Anti-Poaching Unit stands at the forefront of this crucial endeavor, dedicated to the conservation of Africa's wildlife and the ecosystems that sustain them. Committed to combating the daily threats of poaching, habitat destruction, and illegal wildlife trafficking, this brave unit plays a vital role in safeguarding the rich biodiversity of our area.

Founded with a faith, integrity and passion for conservation the Tsala Safaris Anti-Poaching Unit embodies the spirit of dedication needed to tackle the complexities of wildlife protection. Their mission is clear: to defend all species while ensuring the ecosystems they inhabit thrive for generations to come. 

Conservation In Action

Poaching is and has always been part of the African culture. Working closely with our local community Spelimo we have found dedicated, brave and hardworking individuals who are committed to conserving, protecting and developing our property into the best hunting area in Africa.
The team is composed of trained rangers, all of whom hail from local community. They possess an intimate understanding of the land, its wildlife, and the traditional values that underscore the need for conservation. 

This community engagement is a crucial element of the unit's strategy, as combating poaching is not solely about enforcement; it's about fostering respect for wildlife and promoting sustainable practices within the communities themselves. Tsala Safaris collaborates with local residents to create job opportunities and educational programs, helping to ensure that conservation becomes a shared priority rather than a distant ideal.

They  conduct regular patrols in the hunting areas, gathering vital data on animal movements, poaching hotspots, and environmental changes. This proactive approach enables the team to respond swiftly to threats, increasing their chances of preventing poaching incidents before they occur.
Education and awareness are also key pillars of the unit's work. By engaging with local communities, schools, and international hunters, Tsala Safaris strives to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and the detrimental effects of poaching.
