A MULTIFACETED ECOLOGY VENTURE
A MULTIFACETED ECOLOGY VENTURE
In 2021, while celebrating 20 years of restoring, protecting and preserving the wild that is Zuka Private Game Reserve, Tara and Jessica created Getty Asterism.
By formalising the growing team, with their passion for the natural world and their extraordinary discoveries across the reserve, into a multifaceted ecology venture, Getty Asterism, our impact can evolve, ripple outwards and head into the future.

SHARED STEWARDSHIP
For Zuka, conservation has never been solely about the land and wildlife. It’s about people too.
A philosophy and a way, first defined decades ago and truly lived by @londolozi – care of the land, care of the wildlife and care of the people – rippled to become the strong heartbeat of @andbeyondtravel and the Phinda restoration story.
This DNA lives on through Zuka and our integrated model that extends far beyond our bounds here.

MEMORY LANE
Three decades ago, long before an idea or the germination of Zuka as it is today, a young man was carrying bags at a newly created Phinda Resource Reserve.
Co-founder Tara Getty spent his early years learning, hands on and feet in the field alongside ecotourism pioneer and conservation visionary Dave Varty.
This is how Zuka first took root.

LEOPARD
These elusive cats, move in mysterious ways but their presence tells us about the state of the environment.
As apex predators, leopards are an important marker of the health of the reserve and the natural systems within it.
This wasn’t always the case, but now in our third decade of restoring and protecting this swathe of wilderness, alongside collaborative conservation partnerships, the leopards bear testament to a fully balanced landscape.

THE START
Zuka’s co-founder Tara Getty traveled and worked in Africa in his early twenties. He fell in love with this wilderness area of Zululand in the northern reaches of Kwa-Zulu Natal and never looked back.
A Wild Constellation traces the story back to where it all began.
