Manda Wilderness

Nkwichi Lodge

In 1996 five friends, all with a pioneering spirit and passion for Africa, embarked on a mission to build a new safari lodge in Mozambique. Their dream was to provide guests with beautiful accommodation from which they could explore the surrounding wilderness and communities. One of the main goals was to ensure the lodge helped to protect wildlife and provide social and economic benefits for local people.

Manda Wilderness Community Trust

The Manda Wilderness Community Trust works closely with Nkwichi Lodge to ensure local communities also benefit from the growth of responsible tourism in the region. The Trust also manages the Manda Wilderness Game Reserve which was created to protect and manage a 100,000 hectare community reserve on the shores of lake Niassa. The MWCT is registerd as a UK Charity.

Nkwichi Lodge was set up as part of the Manda Wilderness Project as a true responsible tourism project. A separate UK charity called Manda Wilderness Community Trust has now been created specifically to carry out and develop further the charitable activities, some of which have already begun under the Project.
