Highlights

• Leave your mark – weave your own little section of the community basket. All Kikorongo´s guests are invited to collaborate in the creation of this basket.
• Make your own paper bead necklace. These simple, colorful items provide a source of income for the women  – and an opportunity to recycle waste paper.

Responsible Travel

• Several women in the community group were widowed as their husbands were poachers. The performances give both married and widowed women the chance to uplift their social, cultural and economic status.
• The average household contains six people, but each household makes less than 40,000 Ugandan Shillings (less than $20 US) per month, so your money goes a long way!
• Through dance and drama, the Kikorongo Women Community educates community members about safe motherhood, the importance of clean drinking water and hygiene, handicraft making and reducing poaching. Money raised through tourism allows this education to continue.
• The community has suffered from a loss of crops due to damage by wild animals. Participating in tourism activities allows them to benefit from the existence of the National Park, rather than being threatened by it.
