Overview:

Pride ‘n Purpose is the community development wing of a Private Game Reserve and is committed to the upliftment of communities surrounding the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The Lodge recognizes that although conservation is vital, for it to succeed the needs of the people (as well as the animals) need to be taken into account. Making conservation worthwhile for the rural communities will help to ensure that the parks survive. Upliftment is achieved both through the provision of basic needs, and through empowering communities with sustainable economic development. Provision of basic needs such as access to food, water, education and health services is seen as vital as without these resources, sustainable development is difficult. The long-term objective is to build capacity and facilitate economic development by facilitating local businesses and skills development thereby creating jobs for the community.
