EleCollection
Our Mission
Ele-Collection is a plastic recovery company based in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We remove plastic waste from natural environments to protect wildlife, restore ecosystems, and support local communities. Through Plazrok technology, the first process of its kind in Africa, collected plastic is transformed into durable construction aggregate, replacing stone and sand in concrete, and locking plastic away for good.
Our Impact
Our contribution funded the recovery of 9.5 tonnes of plastic from the environmentally sensitive areas surrounding Victoria Falls — collected at a rate of $1,000 per tonne. That is the equivalent of 950,000 plastic bottles (based on a standard 500ml PET bottle weight of 10g) and 1,266,667 plastic bags (based on an average bag weight of 7.5g) — items that would otherwise have remained in waterways, wildlife habitats, and the city dump. Plastic that isn’t collected is typically burned in the open dump. Research by GAIA and the Center for International Environmental Law (2019) puts the CO2 released from open plastic burning at 2.9 tonnes per tonne burned. By recovering 9.5 tonnes, Bayete Collection prevented the equivalent of 27.55 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere — the same amount it would take 459 urban trees ten years to sequester (US EPA). That plastic was collected by their women-led teams, generating 158 paid working days of direct employment — based on an average recovery rate of 60kg per collector per day.
Pristine Victoria Falls Society
Our Mission
The Pristine Victoria Falls Society (PVFS) is a community-based movement set up in October 2021 with one very clear objective:
MAKE VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE THE CLEANEST, GREENEST CITY IN AFRICA
Our Impact
As custodians of one of the World’s Seven Natural Wonders in a World Heritage site of high ecological sensitivity, there can be few communities that have a greater incentive for creating a litter-free and sustainable environment. Not only is it a moral obligation but, for the majority of residents of Victoria Falls whose livelihoods are dependent on tourism, it is a commercial imperative.
Realising that the problem of rubbish will not be solved by applying the usual tools or relying on the same individuals and organisations to unilaterally provide the solution, PVFS has a broader, collective and collaborative approach from all organisations and individuals that, not only addresses the symptoms, but also attempts to treat the root causes of littering before it hits the streets of our City.

An optional paid for extra or you can exchange 2 x lodge activities for this trip (3-night stays + only).
A full day activity to experience the magic of the Falls in neighbouring Zimbabwe. You will be transported from the lodge to the entrance of the National Park for a tour of the Falls at your own leisure. You will then be collected and transported to lunch, into town, to the local markets or for a spot of shopping, as you wish. Please note that although we will happily make suggestions this is an unguided activity and excludes Victoria Falls Park fees, Zimbabwe Visa fees (USD$ cash only for Visa fees) and lunch and the transfer may be shared with other guests).
Bakwena is the proud owner of seven custom built game viewers.
While offering the usual early morning and evening game drives we aim to maximise the game viewing experience.
Chobe can get busy during high season and our guides are always finding new ways of innovating . Our goal is a quality experience through extended drives and exploring new areas of the Park. Our experienced, hand picked guides are, we believe, the finest in Chobe. From insects to bird specific experiences these professionals never disappoint.
There are boat cruises then there are Chobe cruises. Exquisite and beyond comparison, the Chobe river boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the planet. Dry season brings a game viewing bonanza well capitalised on by the resident Lion prides.
Our guides currently have the option of three boats to showcase the river experience to our guests. Without a doubt the most sedate game viewing experience to be had in Botswana. Being metres away from the legendary Chobe Elephant, herds of thirsty buffalo or the myriad of waterbirds is unparalleled.
Guided Village Tour either on foot or by bicycle.
Experience the Botswana Culture. A guided exploration of the local village provides an opportunity to experience and understand the local customs and culture and take a little slice of village life back home with you.
This activity offers a unique experience to cruise along the Chobe River to the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers where four countries - Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe meet - a distinctive geographical point.

Moremi Crossing | Moremi Game Reserve
Slow down and smell the wild sage at Moremi Crossing Camp. Whether stealthily tracking wildlife on foot or silently moving through the Okavango Delta's waterways on a mokoro, time slows down in the Gunn's Private Concession. With its location across from the famous Chief's Island, this traditional walking and water-based camp now offers game drives. Moremi Crossing is also an excellent option for big groups.
Seasonal game drives provide front-row seats to the wildlife, but with an abundance of postcard-perfect lagoons and floodplains, nature walks, and water-based explorations are the Moremi Crossing forte. Stretch your legs on a guided nature walk that transforms your safari into a sensory experience. You'll learn to track, understand medicinal plant uses and so much more by roaming between lofty termite mounds to gain perspective over the landscape (much like a cheetah). You can also go on an immersive camping experience overnight in the wild for an extra dose of adventure.
