The experience includes a talk with the head herdsman and a guided tour of the bomas used for confining and protecting cattle. The second project offers a 2.5 hour guided tour in the traditional Hambukushu village of Eretsha, organised by conservation NGO, Ecoexist. This Life With Elephants (LWE) tour immerses guests in village life, addressing the challenges faced in coexisting with elephants, and includes traditional song and dance. Ecoexist is facilitating and supporting new elephant-themed enterprises like this one as part of its strategy to promote coexistence between people and elephants.
