A brief history
Kirurumu tented camps amd lodge has been operating for close to
a decade. The genesis of the company came from the directors background
in logisitcs, catering and camp provision to remote areas - in place
such as Kenya, Sudan, Yemen among others. Here in Tanzania a permanent
tented camp was erected on the edge of the rift valley wall, and
Kirurumu is today a very well established property in the Northern
circuit.
Kirurumu was one of the pioneering
eco lodges in Tanzania and our commitment to communities and eco
friendly approach opened up avenues of opportunity in other places
and lead to relationships with Maasai communities all the way from
West Kilimanjaro to East Serengeti (Loliondo) where we now work
hand in hand with the communities in an effort to conserve some
of the remaining wilderness in Tanzania, ensuring that the communities
themselves derive benefits from the resources they are custodians
of.
How your visits to our
camps & lodge help
Your visit to our camps and lodge
means benefits for the local community in a number of ways:
- Direct bednight fees to the local community:
a per paying guest amount goes into the community coffers.
- Employment for guides, scouts, and other crew:
we always try to employ from the local community to increase the
benefits derived from the reources guests are here to see and
thereby generate more awareness of the benefits wildlife and wilderness
can bring to communities.
- Direct income from boma visits: we always try
to keep visits to homesteads as unobtrusive as possible but these
are rich opportunities for guests to learn about a different culture
and the experience is reciprocal. Fees are also charged and these
go directly to the boma being visited.

based tourism section.
