A joint partnership between the owners of Lianshulu Lodge, MET, private benefactors and the Lizauli community, the Lizauli Traditional Village was established to educate visitors about traditional Caprivian lifestyles, and to provide insight into the local diet, fishing and farming methods, village politics, music, games, traditional medicine, basketry and tool making. After the guided tour, visitors can shop for good-value local handicrafts without the sales pressure.
The aforementioned partnership also recruits Mudumu game scouts from Lizauli and other villages, and has been given responsibility for community conservation and anti-poaching education. Most importantly, the project provides a forum in which locals can interact with tourists, and benefit both economically and culturally from the adoption of a strict policy of environmental protection.
