Mwaluganje -
Elephant Sanctuary

 

We have launched a wildlife project in partnership with Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary in the Shimba Hills.  The Elephant Sanctuary is a community-based program, where by local people have “leased” their property to a community based trust, which manages the sanctuary for the benefit and preservation of the elephants. It also provides valuable revenue for the landowners and local people, realised through eco-tourism and gate entrance fees.
