Responsible Travel

• Everyone involved in the tourism project is from Nyundo. There is a craft hut selling items made by local women and orphans.
• Almost all food is grown in or around the community, and is both organic and traditional Ugandan food.
• Tourism provides an alternative income for those who have abandoned their farms in order to let the forest grow back and conserve the local environment – discouraging poaching and inappropriate land use.
• The craft hut sells baskets and paper-bead jewelry made by local women and children, and banana leaf dolls made by local orphans.
