A lion in the garden and a crocodile in the swimming pool; an otter called Potter that started life in the master bedroom and a hippo called Maggie that lived in the dam and snacked on half a loaf of bread and a bottle of beer. These are just some of the stories in a book about Norman Travers, the founder of Imire.

In 1972, John Travers’ father, Norman, pioneered the integration of cattle ranching and commercial farming with wildlife management at Imire in the south east province of Zimbabwe.
