    Overview

    Mkuru  Camel  Safari includes  camel  and  walking  safaris, as  well  as  a  wide  variety  of  cultural  events,  with  the objective of spreading the knowledge of natural and cultural resources of Mkuru/Mount Meru area, and distributing the benefits  of tourism  to rural  communities.

    The income of Mkuru Camel Safari remains 100% locally, to pay salaries, guide fees, village contribution, running cost of the camp, trainings and transportation costs. The Mkuru community receives benefits from two different incomes: from the development  fee that the community manages by itself, to pay for school improvements, scholarships for secondary education and other costs to improve the life conditions of Mkuru community.

    The second way MCS is distributing benefits is through the Boma visit fee, each tourist entering in a Boma, is paying a fee that goes direct to the family of that Boma.
