Aiding our local community by promoting responsible tourism projects
The Palm Hospitality Group (PHG) Foundation is a local initiative driven by passionate employees from The Palm River Hotel and Ilala Lodge Hotel, working together to make a meaningful difference in the Victoria Falls community. Established in 2022, the Foundation unites the efforts of both hotels through a dedicated, like-minded committee focused on preserving the beauty and heritage of our town.
The PHG Foundation aids our local community by promoting responsible tourism projects such as environmental preservation, recycling, wildlife protection, local fundraisers and various other initiatives that support the community and preserve the rich cultural heritage of Victoria Falls town. Read on below to discover more about our latest endeavours!
The PHG Foundation supports the Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit (VFAPU) – a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of local wildlife and natural resources in Victoria Falls. Our monthly donations play a crucial part in local wildlife protection and rehabilitation.
The PHG Foundation works with several community projects, non- government organisations, schools and hospitals to provide support and much-needed care within the local community.
Every first Friday of the month, our committee takes to streets, carparks and public areas as part of a community clean up. Our teams have also installed over 20 ‘baboon-proof’ waste bins throughout the rainforest to help maintain and preserve the surrounding tourist attractions.
Among many achievements, the PHG Foundation proudly introduced a sustainable waste management initiative, presented to the Greenline Africa Trust and the Victoria Falls Recycling Project. The initiative includes various events and projects that endeavour to better the future of green development and sustainable tourism in Victoria Falls.
If you would like to support the PHG Foundation, we kindly request a voluntary contribution of as little as $5.00 that can be added to your bill upon checkout. All donations go directly towards the PHG Foundation fund to continue giving back to the Victoria Falls community and conservation of our local wildlife.
