How to Donate
Thank you for offering to support our community/conservation initiatives. Below are some options for making donations – any of the below options are suitable for you to support the community and/or conservation cause(s) of your choice.
Email us here to inform us of your donation so we can track your funds,
allocate them appropriately and keep you updated on your impact!
A maximum of 5% of your donation will go towards administrative, coordination and management costs associated with projects.
Options for making donations:
Select one:
Option 1: When you visit Imvelo Safari Lodges
Donate in cash: Hand cash over to the lodge manager or to Hannah at the Community Rhino sanctuary Headquarters. You will receive a receipt for this.
Donate via card: Pay at the lodge using your debit or credit card.
Donate via Direct Payment Online: We can process a payment from your MasterCard or Visa credit card (not debit card) from Zimbabwe as a ‘card not present’ transaction if you provide the appropriate information on the authorization form provided by your lodge manager. We will then send you a secure link so you may enter your credit card details online directly yourself. Note that this transaction will attract a 3% bank charge.
Pack for a Purpose: We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination. If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and take supplies for the projects we support in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families. Please click on Bomani Tented Lodge or Camelthorn Lodge to see what supplies are needed for our project/projects.
Option 2: Bank Transfer to our USD Zimbabwe Account
You can send donations directly to our Trust accounts (US $ accounts in Zimbabwe). Please check your bank charges because funds may be routed through more than one international ‘correspondent’ bank and you can therefore incur important charges.
