The aim is to mobilize community clean ups of the area, and to raise awareness of ways of recycling articles, particularly plastic bags (Buvera) into rope.
The community based conservation programmes we support are proper garbage disposal of plastics, school exchange programs, tree planting and eco- business support.
We have also built and are managing a community secondary school and have supported the construction of bridges.
We provide advice to tourists on dress codes, traditional foods and drinks, permission to take photos and walking unguided. Support from tourists goes towards community development and conservation activities e.g. by paying a fee, donations or doing voluntary work.
This holiday is part of the responsibletravel.com and Conservation International Community Based Tourism Programme to support and promote community based tourism ventures that offer significant conservation and development benefits to local communities.

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!
