In line with our commitment to the Galu and Kinondo area, this resort is committed to ensuring the local villages benefit from our presence. This includes employment from the two local villages, an additional water hole to be provided for the closest village, a structured access on the beach to offer tourists outings to the reef or to enjoy first choice of their daily catch. The above practices should curb activities of “beach boy vendors” on Kinondo’s splendid secluded beach.
The stretch of coastal land called Galu and Kinondo has become the last outpost of the south coast where deforestation has been stopped. Our presence has helped the stop of deforestation, and fauna and flora thrive - the endangered Angolan Colobus has been able to find a sanctuary. Furthermore, the efforts have allowed development for turtle beach breeding areas without the nests being robbed.
The resort continues to practice environmentally friendly trading such as use of reusable water bottles, waste separation and a no plastic/litter zone. A direct financial benefit derived from our facility is employment. The Digo tribe, indigenous to this area, has never been afforded the opportunity of working in the hotels along the South Coast for tribal reasons.
As a result this tribe has been forced to practise fishing or becoming vendors on the beach – an unsavoury occupation. In addition to employment, any development involves the local community whether water holes, informal pharmacy or teaching of new skills.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
