Due to a cattle shortage country-wide in 2009, it was with the hopes of bridging the meat gap, that we opened our pork section.
Being a small operation, we would only slaughter 20 to 30 porkers a day, but as demand grew and over time, we secured a license to slaughter 70 head per day.
​
As 2014 drew to a close, we had expanded our pork abattoir, and with that a license which allowed us to slaughter 150 head per day. We currently have cold-room space to accommodate 70 porkers and blast-freezer space which can take up to 120 porkers at any one time.
​
We take great care in ensuring our pigs are well looked after from the time they arrive at Koala Park Butchery to the time they are slaughtered. From all the methods used to stun, and slaughter pigs, we choose to use electric currents to stun the pig, then immediately after, it is bled out to finish the process. We believe this is by far the most humane way of slaughtering our porkers, and guarantees our meat quality is of the highest standard by the time it reaches our customers.

Koala Park Butchery & Abattoir was established in 2002 with the opening of our first abattoir, just outside of Harare, on the Seke Road. Koala Park is comprised of passionate people, cattle men and woman, who have between them over two centuries of experience with livestock and meat processing. This passion was incorporated into the ethos of the abattoir right from the beginning and is still very much the foundation of our daily operating procedures.
Reliable, fresh meat at the lowest relative prices...

Feedlot
The animals we buy locally from our producers vary considerably in breed, weight, age and condition. These differences impact the prices we pay for the animals and take into account the time required to get that animal to slaughter and the desired grade. As such, we have learnt to work with the seasonal variations and carefully monitor those ready for slaughter as well as animals coming through the system to ensure continuity, limiting supply gaps when demand is high.

Buying Stations
We buy all types of cattle from cull cows, feed steers, weaners and bulls. All cattle are weighed on government sized scales with the producer present ensuring a transparent and fair service. In addition, we transport the cattle to Koala Park Harare or Koala Park Chiredzi (depending on purchase location) at extra charge to our producers, thus ensuring our customers the best prices. We are continuously adjusting our prices according to the daily/weekly demand for beef.

Our Fleet
Our transport fleet services over 35 towns, which requires vehicles that are capable of managing orders of all sizes. Our refrigerated vans and trailers help to keep our meat as fresh as possible, ensuring orders are kept to the highest quality.​ We have 40 trucks, 17 pick-up trucks and 14 tractors, each fulfilling an integral role in our day to day operations. Our biggest truck and trailer can accommodate 80 cattle over two floors of trailer space, while our average trailers can transport approximately 25 head of cattle.
