The 2025 Nsefu Wildlife Soccer Tournament
The Nsefu Wildlife Conservation Foundation (NWCF) Soccer Tournament is an annual event that brings together community members to watch football games among clubs based in the Nsefu Chiefdom area of operation.
These clubs cater to both boys and girls, and currently, we have 12 boys teams and 8 girls teams.
The winners will be awarded at a conservation ceremony, which will be held in mid-August.
This tournament is primarily intended to keep boys away from poaching and any illicit activities that can lead them into being in conflict with the law.
This also brings out the community members and provides family friendly entertainment.
Before the start of each game, a conservation briefing is done by the NWCF staff to ensure the purpose of the tournament is explained and adhered to by all members.

On the Front Lines of Conservation in Zambia!
In the heart of Zambia’s NSEFU sector, Rangers are putting their lives on the line to stop poaching. Each day, they navigate harsh, unforgiving terrain—where the sun scorches gear to the bone and rains turn the earth to quicksand.
Yet, they press on - For wildlife conservation and protecting their home.
These rangers need proper equipment to do their work safely and effectively: durable footwear, reliable rain gear, and the tools to withstand the elements.
Small comforts in the field make the difference between survival and burnout.
Your support can put these essentials in their hands.

Friend of Nsefu Wildlife: Tammy Rimes!
By Coe Lewis
I have known Tammy Rimes since 2001... when I first got my real estate license in San Diego. I met her through her wonderful husband, the late William Holzhauer, who was a military hero, and he was trying his hand at real estate like I was. He was a wonderful friend, and he introduced me to an amazing woman.
Tammy is a tall, fiery redhead and she is smart, compassionate, and fearless. Our friendship grew after we lost William, and their winery that they built in Ramona as a labor of love, also happened to be the winery that helped Nsefu Wildlife launch our own wines!
A few years ago, Tammy joined me at Zikomo Safari to support our wildlife protection efforts in Africa. We toured various programs and enjoyed game drives in South Luangwa Park with much laughter ensuing. Her belief in our work strengthened after the trip and she became a most- generous supporter.
Our US and Zambian teams truly appreciate her greatly. Her most-recent donation this month will drive long-term change for both people and wildlife. Tammy asked what we needed, and I mentioned another "cash for weapons" event to remove guns and snares from the region. Our Zambian team had conveyed the need to me, and Tammy stepped up with her usual style of humility and grace.
Supporting the community benefits wildlife significantly by teaching locals the value of these animals in tourism. Nsefu Wildlife aims to foster relationships between people and wildlife.
Tammy Rimes is a true Nsefu Wildlife hero and we treasure her. The world needs MORE Tammy Rimes!!!!
