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!!!!
Kendra Scott Mother’s Day Event
We'd like to thank everyone that came out to our Kendra Scott Mother’s Day Event! Even though it was a rainy Sunday afternoon, we were delighted to see such a good crowd.
Dolly Parton's butterfly collection looks amazing, she's such an inspiration.
We hope to see you all again next year!
Rangers confiscate illegal charcoal!
A combined Ranger Team from Nsefu Wildlife and CRB conducted a anti-deforestation operation and were able to confiscate 25 bags of charcoal destined for sale in Chipata.
Deforestations of the wild lands in Zambia is happening at an alarming rate, and left unchecked, can have a profound negative impact on the local people and wildlife.
