In order to conserve wildlife, we must also assist in conserving the welfare of the people who live in the wilderness areas. Miombo Safaris is proud of it’s commitment in serving and helping the communities that border our areas. Poverty alleviation, education and health care are high on our agenda in our community development programs.
Through the generous donations of our clients and friends, Miombo has over the years contributed towards the building of schools and dispensaries, aided in the provision of educational and sporting equipment, building materials and agricultural inputs. Health and conservation education are being provided and performed in all of our areas of operation. Our innovative, pragmatic and result oriented conservation programs have all resulted and continue to provide benefit to the people who need it most.
The people who live in the villages surrounding our areas are an intergral part of helping us to ensure that the wildlife in these areas is protected. In order to protect the wildlife, we must first assit the people who live in these areas.
