Our Impact
Nyathi Anti-Poaching Unit safeguards over 60,000 hectares of conservation land, home to diverse wildlife, including rare and endangered species. Our mission is to protect these natural treasures with unwavering dedication and a commitment to excellence.
Employing nearly 200 staff members from local communities, Nyathi invests in rigorous training programs that encompass mental and physical evaluations, as well as thorough background checks. This ensures a team that is both highly skilled and deeply rooted in integrity.


Collaboration is at the heart of our operations. We work closely with local law enforcement, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, and participate actively in regional wildlife protection forums and initiatives. Nyathi Anti-Poaching Unit is fully registered with all relevant government bodies, underscoring our commitment to compliance and professionalism.
Our success lies in prevention. By fostering strong ties with local communities, we gather timely, reliable intelligence through traditional policing methods. This community-centered approach gives us an edge in anticipating threats and planning effective responses.
Unlike units that rely solely on military strategies, Nyathi blends paramilitary precision with expert bushcraft and policing tactics. Intelligence is meticulously analyzed in-house to inform well-coordinated operations, from tracking to rapid response.
Through the seamless integration of intelligence, tracking, and reaction, Nyathi Anti-Poaching Unit has become a formidable force in protecting Zululand’s wildlife. Our innovative approach and community partnerships continue to make a lasting impact in conservation efforts.
