Amajambere Iwacu Community Camp was established in 1994 by 33 families who were displaced at the gazetting of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The camp runs an eco-community camp for tourists just outside the main gate of the National Park. Apart from providing accommodation for tourists, the camp also supports community-based initiatives such as a handcraft group for women. There are different volunteer projects you can get involved with during your stay; consider teaching at a local community kindergarten, teach conservation education in nearby public schools or lend a helping hand at the local health clinic.
