A visit to Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, Makao WMA, and Maswa Kimali Reserve affords guests the unique opportunity to spend time with two of our four neighboring tribes as they go about their daily lives. These cultural interactions are done within mutually beneficial and agreed-upon partnerships with the communities to benefit the guests and people of the area.
