Nkuringo Gorilla Camp has become the first accommodation venue in Uganda to achieve a carbon neutral position; it is now 100% carbon neutral. We chose to do our part by offsetting all our carbon emissions for the past 12 month period resulting from burning of fossil fuels and biomass in our business travel, heating, cooking and lighting. We strongly feel that this is the right thing to do and appreciate that an aggregate of such actions around the world will help in achieving the climate change mitigation targets.
