News from Mabukawene January 2026

The property is open and available to educational, and specialist societies such as historical, ornithological, arthropod and nature groups and museums.   Birdlife of Zimbabwe had an interesting and fruitful field visit.

Maintenance of the property continues following the rains.   This was a big task cutting the thick bush grass, progress was good and the pathways were cleared. The fire breaks were also cutback.

The highly invasive lantana vegetation was cut and regrowth sprayed. Removing the actual roots manually was a massively tedious and time consuming task especially having to cover over 20 acres. An investment will be made  to purchase a tool to do this, more brush cutters will also be bought as the rains have commenced.

On a good note, whilst clearing was completed, a number of colourful aloes were uncovered around the property together with some beautiful wild orchids.
