CONSERVATION & COMMUNITY

Duba Plains is part of Great Plains Conservation which has a non-profit Foundation (Great Plains Foundation) spanning both Kenya and Botswana. In Botswana they have Rhinos Without Borders where, in partnership with andBeyond, they have relocated almost 100 rhinos from Southern Africa to Botswana.

Their Student Conservation Camps target community projects in Northern Botswana and involve over one hundred children and young people annually. The week long programmes (including classroom teaching, field studies and mentorship) aim to instil an understanding our environment and the importance of looking after it for future generations.

The Botswana Solar Lantern Project focuses on the remote villages of Seronga and Gudigwa in Northern Botswana, where children needing to study face a problem with the lack of electric lighting in homes so the Foundation distributes solar lanterns which are bought by guests staying at their Botswana camps.

Great Plains offers its guests the option bring a donation of supplies in partnership with Pack for a Purpose where guests may use the empty space in their suitcases for donations of much needed supplies for their Conservation Education Program and Women’s Craft Groups operating in Gudigwa and Seronga.

In 2019 Great Plains joined the Lion Recovery Fund and several of Africa’s other safari operators to form the Lionscape Coalition to raise funds for and awareness of lion conservation.
