Originally from Europe, Hannah first came to Zimbabwe in 2011 with her mum and volunteered at Imire Wildlife Conservancy where she got to spend time up close and personal with the ranch’s rhinos and elephants. As fate would have it, she is back in Zimbabwe nearly a decade later, after stints in Madagascar with the WWF, in Peru with Plant Your Future and at the University of Cambridge. She is working on community and conservation projects, especially in and around Hwange National Park.
