The hotel is entirely staffed by locals supported by Tanzanian Managers and European volunteers. Trade Aid works with the national, regional and local government of Tanzania on a variety of community projects including hospitality training, language classes, and conservation programmes. All the projects encourage sustainable employment,
education and environmental responsibility.
