Board of Trustees

In 2008, we were created by a group of passionate, like-minded people who believed more needed to be done to conserve wildlife in the region surrounding Victoria Falls. Our Board of Trustees are based all across the world, and each member volunteers their time to ensure that The Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust achieves what we set out to do.

UK Board of Trustees

The role of the UK Board of Trustees, as well as seeking donations, is to collaborate with the Zimbabwe Board to oversee the financial governance of funds donated from the UK. Their focus is on providing oversight of transparency, accountability, and compliance with regulations, ensuring effective financial management of donations.

Comprised of dedicated individuals with diverse expertise and a deep understanding of Zimbabwe, they work closely with the Zimbabwe Board to implement the Trust’s mission, programs, and initiatives at the local level.

While not responsible for overall strategy development, their valuable insights and expertise contribute to shaping the organization’s initiatives, which reflect the unique wonders of Victoria Falls and the surrounding KAZA region.
