Nomad Trust in Mahale

In Mahale, we have the honor of being one of the few camps set within the beautiful forests of the Mahale Mountains National Park.  With the crystal clear waters, the excitement of trekking for Chimpanzees and the sheer magnificence of the beach, we hope that people will take a few moments to reflect on the context of this beautiful place.

Here at Nomad Tanzania we feel we have a responsibility to the communities who live along the lake shores, as well as to the animals within the forest.

Rocket Stoves-Katavi

These are the most amazing stoves which decrease the use of firewood, and increase the efficiency of cooking.


 This is Mama Eliza, with her new stove.  Before the rocket stove she used to collect fire wood once daily, she now collects fire wood once every 10 days!  A massive change for her, and we hope for the forest!
