Initially the Kalumbila Farm reserve started as a small-scale conservation project undertaken in line with Mutanda Farms’ vision to make a meaningful contribution to conservation of both flora and fauna in Zambia. However, in the years following its establishment, we have continued to expand and the Mutanda Farms conservation footprint now spans over 8000 hectares, across three different properties, protecting a wide array of species and thousands of hectares of magnificent and diverse Miombo woodlands, floodplains, scattered open woodland, swamps, streams and riverine thickets. We have invested heavily in the reintroduction of a wide variety of wildlife species to our properties, and have introduced wildlife from far and wide, including as far afield as South Africa and Namibia, where we felt it necessary to integrate new genetics, for the sake of genetic diversity and improvement. 

Buffalo are a species that we have placed specific emphasis on, and boosting the numbers and genetic diversity of the Buffalo on our properties has led to significant investment in our Buffalo herds. To ensure we maximize the genetic spread and potential of the Buffalo we produce, we have sourced a wide range of animals from a number of areas, including from wild populations in the Kafue National Park and from some of the foremost breeders in South Africa. We remain committed to ensuring we conserve and breed with the best possible genetics, thus benefiting not only ourselves but other wildlife conservation areas around Zambia, by making available limited amounts of genetics bred on Mutanda Farms.
