RESPONSIBLE TOURISM FOR SUSTAINABILITY

In order to cover part of the expenses generated at Kumwenya School, at the end of 2016 wooden huts were built on the same site where the school is located, but with views of the beautiful Mwamba Lake, so that they can be used by solidarity tourists and volunteers that go throughout the year. The objective is to give sustainability to the educational project of Kumwenya School with the benefits generated by the cabins, but also to contribute to the empowerment of the community by hiring only local people for the management and maintenance of the Lodge and facilitating that artisans from the area can come to offer a variety of workshops and crafts to tourists to improve their own economy.

We also help to organize customized safaris. We work with Edris and his company Safari with Edris. We have total confidence in him due to his professionalism, organizational capacity, kindness and constant good humor, apart from offering the best rate in the market.
