Wildlife Camp works in a close relationship with the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia.
The society’s most famous work was Operation Noah. In 1957 the Society mobilised international resources to rescue animals that would have otherwise been drowned or stranded by the rising waters of the newly created Lake Kariba. When the rescue work of Operation Noah was completed, the assets were sold and the proceeds used to create the Wildlife Trust Limited whose purpose was one of supporting the work of the Society. Around the same time, the society’s name changed to the Wildlife Conservation Society of Northern Rhodesia and later, after independence, it was changed to the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia.
The WECSZ head office is in Lusaka and there is a branch office in Chipata. Wildlife Camp proudly donates a considerable portion of your accommodation fees paid to us to the Society and in that way you are contributing to support local wildlife and education for Zambian school children in the conservation of their natural history.
