The innovative community-run Lumo Community Wildlife Sanctuary covers 657 sq km and was formed from three community-owned ranches in 1996, but only opened to the public in 2003. It’s partly funded by the EU and involves local people at every stage of the project, from the park rangers to senior management. Big cats and elephants are regular highlights and the accommodation is superb, making it a terrific all-round package.
