Chipembele Wildlife Education Centre

The Chipembele Wildlife Education Centre is located on the banks of the Luangwa River opposite South Luangwa National Park, approximately 16km south of Mfuwe, Zambia.

It is run under the auspices of a charitable trust for the school children of the Luangwa Valley to teach them about wildlife and conservation.

Chipembele was established by Steve and Anna Tolan, who emigrated from England to Zambia in 1998 to fulfil their dream of building and running such a centre.

Since then however, the Trust has progressed to encompass much more than the Wildlife Education Centre. Steve and Anna also run a Pupil Sponsorship Scheme, they have reared and rehabilitated a number of orphaned wild animals, Steve is actively involved in anti-poaching work and they have made discoveries of archaeological and palaeontological importance. They are also trustees of the South Luangwa Conservation Society.
