Kidong Eco-Tourism Center is a Destination!
Over the past two months a steady flow of tourists have been passing through Kidong Eco-Tourism Centre, helping a group of over 25 ex-poachers generate sustainable incomes via this environmentally friendly venture initiated by GVI and WSPA. The Eco-Tourism Centre at Kidong offers guided tours to Kidong Hill, demonstrations of traditional activities of the Kamba tribe by the village elders, delicious meals served in the Ndovu Restaurant and a huge amount of history about the transition of the people from Kidong, Kasaani and Mahandakini from poachers to protectors of wildlife. Although the road to getting the Eco-Tourism Centre up and running has been a long one, the rewards are certainly worth it!

Publicity such as this is hugely appreciated by everyone involved in the establishment of the Kidong Eco-Tourism Centre and all of the ex-poachers engaged in the running of the project. Moreover, with a number of meeting scheduled with safari companies in the next month, the future of Kidong Eco-Tourism Centre looks very bright! Thank-you to everyone past and present who has supported the development of this project, and help to make it such a successful venture.
