Community
When something is fundamentally right it just works. There are no handouts to be had and all our community projects are established in partnership with local people.
Running a business in Africa is hard work and with it comes tough decisions. We have not got it perfect yet but we aspire to make every part of our business as ethically sound as possible.
Our Camps act as a source of local industry and employment with food produce and project materials bought locally. We bring the funds, enthusiastic travellers and sustainability.
During your stay with us you will become involved with projects ranging from low-level construction to making elephant dung paper. We have to balance the needs of the project with our need to ensure that your experience is both fulfilling and fun, but can assure you of an incredible experience.
The end result is an international, multi racial, multi religious, culturally diverse community achieving extraordinary things together.
Community Projects
Mukurumuji
The Mukurumuji community programme was launched in November 2005 and is named after the river that runs through our camp (Mukurumuji meaning 'where people meet' in Swahili). Majimboni is the nearest village and is situated on the edge of Shimba Hills National Reserve. Over 60% of the inhabitants in this area are living below the poverty line.
Most of our work is based at Steven Kanja Primary School Read More...
Wanted to give something back to the less fortunate, a wonderful experience. Was able to help at the school with my contribution. Excellent combination of work and play.
