Tipunzile Tour and Human Wildlife Conflict/Cohabitation and cultural tour
The first of its kind, this tour is a local initiative aimed at developing community-based tourism in the heart of the Human and wildlife conflict zone. The tour takes place in the encroached elephant migratory route, known as the corridor and aims to create a Cohabitation zone, instead of a conflict zone. The communities living in conflict with Elephants, need to be involved in tourism initiatives and see a benefit from tourism and place a value in wildlife as a resource, rather than a curse.
This tour highlights not only the unique challenges faced by people and the wildlife that live and share the corridor but also highlights other cultural aspects of Zambian community life, like local music, dance, and traditional medicine.
By visiting the frontline of the conflict zone, guests will find themselves in the South Dambwa community that live along the National Park boundary which is the primary point of HWC. The community will treat you to a fantastic display of dance and song from the local children. These the same children who have given up chasing and harassing Elephants for fun and now participate in a tourism related activity instead. The dance is followed by a drive through the narrow streets of the Dambwa community where guests can visit local stalls, sample locally brewed beers and wines or visit with the local medicine woman for herbalist remedies or recipes and onto a traditional Zambian ‘’Matebeto’’ dinner (Matebeto is a selection of traditional dishes form the region) over dinner, village elders entertain with storytelling, song, and lore. The night tour finishes with a night drive through the primary conflict zone with a high probability to view Elephant, Buffalo or Hippo as they now openly move around the encroached corridor hungrily eyeing up gardens, crops and sadly human litter and waste.
