Global Campuses
Advanced Training for the Network
Savory maintains two international campuses that serve as advanced training sites where accredited Hub leaders, Educators, and EOV Verifiers come to learn, share, and collaborate with the world’s best grassland managers.
Serving the Global South at the Birthplace of Holistic Management
The 3,200-hectare Dimbangombe Conservancy, near Victoria Falls, is living proof of the effectiveness of Holistic Management and Holistic Planned Grazing in a brittle and pastoral context. It is home to a large wildlife population, a mixed herd of cattle and goats, and an ever-improving landscape that starkly contrasts the neighboring national parks.

Dimbangombe Campus
As the birthplace of Holistic Management, the Dimbangombe Campus hosts annual training programs
for Savory’s Network of Hub leaders and Accredited Professionals, community leaders, NGO staff, and
policymakers. The programs use the curriculum developed with Savory Institute to address the specific needs and context of subsistence farmers living and grazing on communal lands.
Advancing Holistic Management in the American West's shortgrass prairie
West Bijou is the Savory Institute’s holistically managed ranch and learning site just outside of Denver. A National Natural Landmark that in 2017 was passed into Savory’s long-term stewardship, this 3,100-hectare landscape dominated by shortgrass prairie is home to a herd of 500 bison, a thriving wildlife population, and archeological and cultural assets such as one of the world’s most robust and intact sites of the K-T Boundary, a window to past geologic times.

The West Bijou Campus hosts training programs for accredited Hub leaders, Educators, and EOV Verifiers, as well as internships, school visits, farm-to-table dinners, and research studies with partners such as the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the National Western Center, and the Nature Conservancy.
