The Luembe Conservancy and its custodial Trust, the Luembe Conservancy Trust, was established in 2003 in the Luembe chiefdom, with land-user rights awarded to it for 60 years by the Luembe Customary Authority with the approval of the Nyimba District Council and the Luembe Community Resource Board, supported and facilitated by Gamefields Ltd (Gibralter). The first investment was the purchase in 2004 of Mbeza Safaris Ltd, holder of the hunting concession rights in that portion of the chiefdom designated as a game management area.
