We are passionate about nature with an aim of building a sustainble community

Community Enhancement Projects (CEP)

These are programmes and projects that are aimed at enhancing community capability to diversify income from activities that endeavour the ecosystem of the area. The enhancement projects are created to enable the community engage into other sustainable income generating activities.

Kihoima Pond Project

This a project that is aimed at enhancing tourism experience in Kihoima. The project is done by the community with support from Guereza Canopy Lodge. The project will enable the community build sustainable income activities away from forest encroachment and poor agricultural practices in the areas surrounding the park. This is will reduce on environmental degradation and pressure on the forest cover. The water project that is currently under construction and currently completion at 60% will offer guests camping experiences, bird viewing, relaxing around the cool and fresh water where you canoe rides and delicious freshly made local meals.

Bee-keeping

Bees are an important part of the natural ecosystem. Besides producing honey, they play an important role in conservation, especially in areas where plants depend on pollination to grow and reproduce. Bees pollinate flowers, supporting the reproduction of plants and contributing to healthy and diverse ecosystems. 

Additionally, beekeeping can help keep elephants away from community gardens and farmland. Elephants tend to avoid bees, making beehives a useful nature-based approach to reducing crop damage and human-wildlife conflict. The activity also provides the community with an alternative and sustainable source of income. Through beekeeping, community members can earn a livelihood while reducing their dependence on agricultural practices that may increase pressure on wildlife habitats and contribute to conflict with animals.

Guests can visit these community projects to learn about beekeeping and apiary management, understand the role bees play in conservation, and experience how local communities are developing livelihoods that can coexist with wildlife. Depending on the season and harvesting schedule, guests may also participate in honey harvesting and learn how honey is processed from the hive.

The experience concludes with an opportunity to taste fresh, locally produced honey, offering a direct connection between conservation, community livelihoods and the surrounding natural environment.
