Conservation
Elewana, The Manor at Ngorongoro’s parent company embraces the responsibility of helping to protect both the habitat in which wildlife lives as well as specific vulnerable and endangered wildlife species. They have been pioneers in supporting what they call “Parks Beyond Parks” - conservation areas that lie outside of nationally protected parks. In total they play a key role in protecting land extending to over 1.36 million acres.
Community
For every bed night spent at The Manor, Elewana will donate $1 per guest towards their “Land & Life Foundation”. A foundation which works closely with schools and clinics to tackle issues of education and health by helping to identify their development priorities and raise funds from travelling philanthropists to finance their requests, whether for supplies, infrastructure or training.
