Susuwe Island Lodge has been developed as a joint venture partnership with the Mayuni Conservancy. The Kwando River is a permanent water source that nourishes delicate ecosystems, and the area boasts abundant and varied game and birdlife. In order for the balance to be maintained, protection is required from the indiscrimanate utilisation of the natural resource base. In keeping with this, conservation projects such as the development of an anti-poaching unit have already been initiated. A long term program is also underway in the area, the primary objective of which is the involvement of local communities in conservation initiatives. Skills and education enable the local population to be employed to meet these initiatives. The lodge also funded and built a conservancy campsite, called Kubunyana, which the local community manages and earns revenue from.
