If It Pays,
It Stays.
Economic Sustainability
The reality of African conservation is economic. Your visit directly funds our Anti-Poaching Units and habitat restoration. The meat from your harvest feeds 300 local families monthly.
"I acknowledge that Miwesu is a sanctuary of silence. I respect the ethics of the fair chase and the peace of the Iron Mountain."

Anti-Poaching Units
Our 24/7 anti-poaching teams patrol the reserve continuously, protecting not just our wildlife but the entire ecosystem. These dedicated units operate around the clock, using advanced tracking and monitoring systems.
Every guest contribution directly funds these critical operations. Your visit ensures that the Makoppa district remains a safe haven for wildlife, free from the threat of poaching. This is conservation that pays for itself.
Feeding 300 Families Monthly
All meat from harvests is donated to 300 local families monthly. This creates a direct link between conservation and community welfare, ensuring local support for our efforts and demonstrating that conservation can benefit everyone.
The "If It Pays, It Stays" philosophy extends beyond the reserve boundaries. By feeding local families, we create a sustainable model where conservation directly supports the community, ensuring long-term success.
Habitat Restoration
Ongoing projects to restore and maintain the natural habitat of the Makoppa district. We work to preserve the Arid Sweet Bushveld, protect ancient Leadwood forests, and ensure the ecosystem remains healthy for generations to come.
From controlled burns to invasive species management, every action is taken with the long-term health of the ecosystem in mind. The Makoppa's unique biodiversity depends on careful stewardship.
Ecological Research
Annual censuses and research programs help us understand and manage the ecosystem sustainably. We track population dynamics, monitor health indicators, and ensure balanced populations across all species.
This data-driven approach ensures that every conservation decision is based on science, not speculation. We manage an ecosystem, not just a hunting operation.
