ECO TOURISM OPPORTUNITIES
Introduction
Eco Tourism activities can be classified in three streams as follows:
- Nature
- Culture
- Adventure
The Nature stream involves activities where the focus of the activities is on appreciating all aspects of wildlife including animals, birds, insects, plants, and fish.
The Culture stream involves activities where the focus of the activities is on appreciating all aspects of cultural heritage, cultural rites, and behaviour of cultural groups.
The Adventure stream involves activities where the focus of the activities is on participating in physically and mentally challenging outdoor adventures from less difficult activities such elephant riding, hiking, mountain biking and 4x4 safaris to more challenging activities such as bungy jumping, ziplining, abseiling, white river rafting, and rock climbing.
The bio-diversity of the Nimeng ranch provides all the ingredients for a flexible range of perfect eco-safari experiences for both local and international eco-enthusiasts.
