WHO WE ARE
Who We Are
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife is committed to conserving the province's rich biodiversity while offering world-class ecotourism experiences. As custodians of protected areas, we ensure nature thrives for generations to come. The organisation's journey began with the preservation of the southern white rhino, a symbol of resilience and conservation success, and continues to inspire efforts to protect endangered species across the region.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife (Ezemvelo), established under the KwaZulu-Natal Nature Conservation Management Act No. 9 of 1997, is the province's principal biodiversity conservation agency. The organisation is mandated to conserve, manage, and promote biodiversity across KwaZulu-Natal's protected areas while providing world-class ecotourism experiences. Operating under both national and provincial environmental legislation, Ezemvelo manages over 120 protected areas encompassing diverse ecosystems from marine environments to mountain grasslands.
