Our Vision

Values
Ecosystem Restorations: We invest in our environment and in restoring ecosystems through tree planting to restore monkey habitats and use of local resources whenever possible. Monkeys are thus a core part of our ecosystem.
Empowerment: We involve the community in the initiatives with the understanding that lasting impact is a communal process - involving the empowerment of those around us for a more cohesive, coordinated effort. We also deliberately prioritize local purchases and sourcing of resources from our surrounding community as a way of economic empowerment.
Humanity: We understand that humans are central to the success of sustainable tourism. As such, we place a high premium on the well-being of both the people within (staff and guests) and those without (the surrounding community) - urging the amicable treatment of all.
Wellness: To us, we see wellness as the fusion of physical activity and healthy food. That's why we're deliberate on the farm-to-fork culture, outdoor activities, and off-screen indoor activities so as to promote social interactions which enhance all-round well-being.
Our Commitments
Organic food: We strive to check where from we source our foods and try to grow our foods the much we can. Those that we can't grow, we source locally from the community.
Environmental conservation: We involve our guests in environmental conservation efforts such as tree planting and requesting that guests gather their plastics that they bring with them
Responsible energy use: We are fully off-grid (we operate on solar entirely, with occasional supplementation with petroleum in case of breakdown of our power systems. To safeguard this achievement, we urge guests and staff to use the energy resources with the understanding that they are shared and it is a corporate responsibility to ensure they last through the day
Culture preservation: We strongly believe that for effective change to be realized, understanding of origins of human-kind, and in particular of the local community is critical. We have cultural artifacts for viewing and purchase while at the lodge.
