The Secluded Africa Wildlife and Community Trust ist dedicated to the conservation of wildlife, flora and fauna with our local communities in the areas surrounding the lodges of Secluded Africa.
As a small and individual trust with zero administration costs that spends 100% of its money directly on the ground we do not have budgets for sales and marketing of the trust. Therefore please tell all your friends and shout it from the rooftops.
All guests at Secluded Africa Lodges pay a Conservation Fee of US$ 65.00 per person per night. This money is 100% ring fenced to pay for all the operations, programs, projects and overheads of the Trust and is the biggest source of revenue for the trust. So come and see, have a wonderful safari and great experience all the while doing a lot of good.
At SAWCT we currently have 97 students in secondary school and universities that the trust takes care of all their financial needs for their secondary education. Many of our bright young men and women are taken care of by individual sponsors. Contact Nikita Shah on nikita@secludedafrica.com to get proper details on what possibilities are available.
We are happy to receive donations from anyone at any time, this does not have to be in cash, it can also be in equipment or kind. However, please also coordinate with us to make sure we all get the best bang for our buck, so to speak. There is a simple donor menu for one to look at and decide what to sponsor or buy.
