Community-owned eco-tourism · Fully-staffed

Kamungi Bandas

A secluded, fully-staffed eco accommodation on the northern boundary of Tsavo East National Park, where every stay helps support community and conservation.

More than just a place to stay, the Kamungi Bandas are part of a larger strategy for sustainable conservation. Set within Kamungi Conservancy, a vital buffer zone established in 2013 with the support of Tsavo Trust, the bandas turn a night under the Tsavo stars into direct support for community development and wildlife protection.

The bandas are the conservancy’s own enterprise: a model designed so that, as visitor numbers grow, more income flows to Kamungi and its 505 member households, helping the community fund its own development and build lasting self-reliance. Every booking helps that model take root, so the more guests who stay, the greater the benefit to community and conservation.
