The Victoria Falls Anti Poaching Unit (VFAPU) has arrested almost 400 poachers, including ivory poachers, last year.

Four injured animals, a buffalo, a kudu and two warthogs, were also saved by VFAPU scouts after being darted, treated and returned to the wild.

Africa Albida Tourism, a Zimbabwe-owned hospitality group, which operates hotels and restaurants in Victoria Falls and Chobe, Botswana, co-founded VFAPU.
