Caring for Nature
Over the last 30 years at Tomjachu Bush Retreat we have strived to rehabilitate the area’s natural ecosystems through careful land management, and the reintroduction of various species to provide a haven of conservation for indigenous plants, birds, mammals and other wildlife.
The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) philosophy
Ecotourism is about uniting conservation and communities, through sustainable travel. This means that those who implement, participate in and market ecotourism activities should adopt the following ecotourism principles:
Minimize physical, social, behavioural, and psychological impacts. Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect. Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts. Provide direct financial benefits for conservation. Generate financial benefits for both local people and private industry. Deliver memorable interpretative experiences to visitors that help raise sensitivity to host countries’ political, environmental, and social climates. Design, construct and operate low-impact facilities

Land & Wildlife Experience
Tomjachu proudly boasts over 296 species of birds, and an incredible variety of small and large mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insects, as well as hundreds of plant and tree species. We work hard to protect and maintain our natural habitats, which help to ensure that migrant species also return each year.
