Tourism that belongs to the village

Community centred tourism is at the heart of Nyore. Three promises we make to the people around us, and how you can help a local school.

Community centred tourism is at the heart of Nyore. We practise and promote sustainability and cultural immersion, and we try to make sure the village shares in what the retreat brings.

Three promises

Work with the community. We employ and collaborate with local people, and keep an open dialogue with them.

Respect tradition. We respect traditional cultures, and care for the environment the hill depends on.

Prepare each other. We tell our neighbours what to expect from visitors, and tell visitors what to expect here. It builds trust and respect on both sides.

Schools

We work closely with local schools through a mentorship programme, and by donating classroom equipment and teaching facilities. If you or your business would like to donate or volunteer, please get in touch.

Community based tourism aims to contribute to productivity by creating employment and consequently improving the livelihood and well-being of local people whilst being exposed to learning and being open-minded about other cultures. — Alleyn Kiwana, founder of Nyore Hillside Retreat
