Wilderness Little Makalolo

The impact of your stay:

Hwange National Park grapples with prolonged droughts. Little Makalolo, along with neighbouring lodges, plays a crucial role in establishing and sustaining a network of man-made boreholes to supply water to wildlife. This effort, notably, has led to the thriving of elephant herds in the region. In the dry season, guests can witness a diverse array of wildlife congregating at the same watering hole for a much-needed drink. Little Makalolo is part of the Wilderness portfolio, Jacada’s parent company and a purpose-driven enterprise engaged in conservation projects across Africa. In Zimbabwe over the last two decades, Wilderness has invested over USD4 million in national park fees and permits, significantly contributing to the conservation of protected areas. They also aid concession management by financing wildlife research, building firebreaks, maintaining roads, and providing air support for park management and anti-poaching teams as needed. Through their non-profit organisation, Children in the Wilderness, they have implemented environmental education and literacy programs. The organisation provides scholarships to young people, supplies school equipment, supports school nutrition programs, and conducts teacher training and community development projects.
