Founded in Zimbabwe in 2012 after recognising the need for well-trained and competent rangers, Chengeta Wildlife has grown alongside the challenges facing modern conservation. What began with ranger training has evolved into supporting the wider systems that enable protected areas to function effectively. Today, our work supports conservation programmes across Africa, strengthening people, systems and institutions. 

 

Over time, we recognised that competent rangers need capable leaders, effective teams and well-managed operations. This led us to expand into leadership development, operational support, control room design, standard operating procedures development and the integration of conservation technology, biomonitoring and analytics. 

 

With the understanding that effective law enforcement cannot exist without the support and trust of local communities, Community engagement has become integral to both our operational approach and the way we develop conservation professionals.

 

To ensure the quality of our own programmes, we chose to subject them to independent assurance through City & Guilds and the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM), delivering internationally recognised accredited qualifications that provide a clear career pathway for rangers. 

 

But lasting conservation also depends on strong institutions. We now work closely with government agencies and protected area authorities to help build coherent, sustainable conservation systems that endure beyond individual projects.

 

As conservation challenges continue to evolve, so too do our ambitions. While remaining grounded in our core expertise, we aspire to broaden the role we play, contributing more directly to the conservation of the landscapes we work in
