You may choose to visit the nearby Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary after lunch.This is a community-owned elephant park, and conservation area for elephants. The sanctuary was formed in the early 1990s as a cooperative project and is an example of ecotourism, as well as community-based-conservation efforts. In this community-based programme, the local people have leased their privately owned property to a community-based trust. The sanctuary is managed for the conservation and preservation of the elephants. In addition it is a valuable source of revenue for the local people.
