Responsible Tourism
Biodiversity Conservation
We proudly support the “Snares to Wares” youth anti-poaching programme. This initiative not only aims to rehabilitate poachers. But also serves as a beacon for community education on wildlife and environmental conservation. The youth involved showcase their creativity by repurposing wire snares into captivating sculptures of wildlife. Available for purchase at our lodge’s gift shop. All proceeds from these items go back into building the community and protection of the wildlife in Murchison Falls National Park.
Cultural Conservation
Preserving and celebrating cultural heritage is woven into the fabric of Nile Safari Lodge. Once a week, our guests are entertained by the enchanting tunes of the Adungu band, giving them a harmonious journey into the local musical traditions.
To deepen cultural understanding, we guide our guests on enlightening community walks that unravel the intricacies of our neighboring community’s culture. These walks are an insightful exploration fostering connections and knowledge.
Our gift shop is a treasure trove of artefacts, each piece a testament to the vibrant craftsmanship of the local community. By curating these cultural experiences, we not only entertain but also contribute to the preservation of the cultural heritage that makes our surroundings so unique.
