Towla

Eastern Africa

Towla is a village in Matabeleland South Province, Zimbabwe, about 90 kilometres north of Beitbridge. It presently serves as the headquarters of the Bubye Valley Conservancy, believed to be the largest private wildlife reserve in the world. Towla was established by the Liebig Extract of Meat Company, later acquired by Unilever, as the headquarters for its Jopembi cattle ranch, then one of the largest cattle ranches in the world. It was subsequently sold to a consortium of international investors, and the cattle were removed to make way for the re-establishment of indigenous wildlife.
