Sustaining Manyeleti's Communities Program

Tintswalo Safari Lodge has been distributing meals consisting of maize-meal worth R42 000 to 27 schools that are adjacent to the Manyeleti Nature Reserve. Each school received ten 25kg bags of maize-meal a few weeks ago and this will help the surrounding poorer communities feed the children whose parents have been struggling financially during the pandemic.

The lodge managed to raise most of these funds through its successful Virtual Safaris and Tintswalo’s competition fundraisers together with two other lodges. Each lodge donated a two-night trip to help raise funds for the school children in the area. The viewers were so excited about the prospect of having six nights in the Manyeleti, and so the donations streamed in!

Tintswalo Safari Lodge is delighted to be able to assist these children who are all special to everyone at the lodge. They are the future of the Manyeleti, and through environmental education, play an important role in the anti-poaching campaign by remaining vigilant and reporting poachers to the local authorities.
