STUCK IN THE MUD: the challenges of the rainy season


12.12.2025


1:22

The
rainy
season
has
arrived
and
with
it,
new
challenges
for
our
dedicated
teams
in
the
Zambezi
Valley!  Even
when
roads
flood
and
rivers
rise,
the
work
doesn’t
stop.
Our
teams
continue
to
travel
deep
into
the
valley,
helping
with
research,
supporting
communities
and
protecting
wildlife.


As
in
previous
years,
our
team assisted
Oxford
University’s WildCrRU project
with
its
ongoing
wildlife
predator
surveys,
which
take
place
during
the
dry
season
months
when
access
is
easiest. 
This
year,
the
focus
was on the
western
section
of
Zimbabwe,
covering Zambezi
National
Park,
Matetsi
Units
1-7,
Panda
Masui
Forestry,
Sikumi
Forestry,
Ngamo
Forestry
and
Ngamo
section
of
Hwange
National
Park,
Kazuma
Pan
and
Kazuma
Forestry
section
and
northern
Hwange
National
Park,
including
Sinamatela
and
Robins
areas.


All
went
according
to
plan,
with
the
project
winding
up
mid-November. 
However,
just
as
our
team
was
preparing
to
pack
up
and
go
home,
the
rains
came
a
little
early
and
provided
some
challenges
for
access!
