Quotes
By day its red dirt roads winding between white-washed, coral-brick houses beneath palm trees swaying in the currents of the ever-present Indian Ocean breeze. At night, the equatorial stars pierce the cloudless sky as the sopping moon lulls her way between the baobab silhouettes on the horizons. Welcome to Takaungu.

Code of Conduct
Come Kuona aims to provide a rewarding holiday whilst subscribing to principles and practices of responsible travel (eco-tourism).

We strive to improve the quality of the natural environment in which we operate, as well as spread the benefits, economically, to the local communities while conserving cultural heritage.

WE ARE COMMITTED:

ENVIRONMENTALLY-

• Educating the local communities and our visitors on environmental issues
• Implementing a CO2 emission offset scheme by encouraging all visitors to plant trees
• Rehabilitation of abandoned quarries
• Encouraging use of organic waste to make compost for farming
• Encouraging of walking and use of bicycle taxis in the village as much as possible to reduce carbon emission
• Supporting efforts of community organizations which empower local communities

ECONOMICALLY-

• Employing locals in our operation (90% of our staff are from the local communities)
• Purchasing of foods and crafts locally, whenever possible, to create local employment and encourage a spirit of entrepreneurship

SOCIALLY-

• Orienting our visitors on local cultures, customs and heritage. We encourage our visitors to treat local cultures with respect and dignity
• Involving locals in the planning and implementation of our projects
• Assessing the impact of our projects on the local community
