I would like to take you to one of the special projects in Africa, Tsika Island Camp. As an Africa specialist, we try to work with African partners who support local community and nature projects and find accommodations that create jobs for the local population.
A good example is the Tsika Island Camp in the Lower Zambezi River in Zambia. Since 2010, Chongwe River Camp has opened this camp on beautiful Tsika Island. There is only room for six guests in three bush rooms, each with private facilities. Guests can take part in a 2 to 5-day canoe safari on the Lower Zambezi from Tsika Island Camp.
The emphasis of the canoe safari is not just on nature experience. During a stay on Tsika Island, enjoy an authentic cultural experience. Visiting the Mugurumeno Basic School and the villages on the mainland is one of the possibilities.
By staying on Tsika Island you directly support the local community. Worth seeing how tourism and development go so nicely together.
