Conservation isn't a department here.
It's everyone.
Conservation sounds simple on paper. Protect the wildlife, protect the land. In practice, it takes a whole team pulling in the same direction, local hands and global partners, quiet daily work and long-term vision, all working together to make it possible.
No single team could carry that alone. So at Mugie, nobody does.
Meet the Mugie Team
Security - Rangers, K9 Unit & ICT
The frontline. They patrol on foot, on horseback and alongside bloodhounds that can follow a scent for days across dozens of kilometres. Backed by radios, GPS tracking and camera traps that mean no patrol is ever really working alone. Long hours, real risk, and the quiet job most people picture when they hear the word 'conservation’.
Agriculture - Vets, herders & butchers
Long before ‘conservancy’ was in the name, this was a working farm and it still is.
Herders moving cattle across the plains, a dairy herd milked every morning, a butchery, small plots of fruit and vegetables tended by hand. This is the part of Mugie’s story that proves conservation and agriculture don’t have to compete.
Fence, Road & Vehicle Maintenance
Nobody names an award after a well-maintained fence line.
But nothing else runs without it. Roads graded, water systems checked, vehicles kept alive on punishing terrain, an endless list, tackled one repair at a time, so the rest of Mugie can keep moving.
Conservation held together, quite literally, by people with spanners and fencing pliers.
Operations - HR, Accounts, Reception
Nobody photographs a payroll run or a well filed invoice. But every patrol, every project, every guest experience runs through someone at a desk, first. The unseen backbone of getting this done.
Social Impact - Community & Conservation
The bridge between wildlife and the neighbouring communities. Where a fence line ends and a friendship begins, promoting conservation awareness, building peace and driving projects that improve real livelihoods on both sides.
Tourism
Every guest who visits Mugie becomes part of the story and helps directly fund the rangers, schools and community projects that keep Mugie thriving.
