Ecotourism is vital for economically supporting community conservation -
royalties from ecotourism can replace income from unsustainable logging.
Two thirds of the entrance fees charged at Rhoko go directly to the
community as ecotourism royalties, for community development projects.
In addition, ecotourists make more employment possible for local people,
and stimulate the local economy through purchases in the market place.
You will find your Rhoko visit a very different
experience to visiting a rainforest tourist resort - our main focus
remains research and conservation and at Rhoko you will get some unique
insights into our work. You will be enchanted by the primates there, the
beautiful forests and the night sounds of the rainforest which surround
you, but you will also have a chance to talk to the people carrying out
research and community conservation, and perhaps join them in their
work. You may like to go for a cooling dip in Rhoko river - or if you
are more adventurous, use an innertube to explore the river in a
different way, or get yourself up into the canopy for a totally
different view in our tree platform. Since we take a maximum of 8
visitors, you may indeed find you have the place to yourselves!
