Visits to the White waters Secondary school, our traditional healer, Ndebele villages, the local clinic and the community in general is something that should not be missed. This tour gives you an insight into the way the people of Zimbabwe live, as well as giving you the opportunity to get involved in giving something back to the people of Zimbabwe.
Big Cave has been involved with the local community since the 1990's. Clients that visited Big Cave were encouraged to donate funds that were then managed and invested in various projects : Whitewater's Secondary School
Natisa Clinic

Our local Ndebele traditional healer is an incredibly interesting women, with a vast knowledge of natural remedies, as well as the traditional "throwing of the bones".
Once a year we take the 16 most successful final year students on a field trip to Bulawayo, to view the Bulawayo History Museum. After this they return to Big Cave to have a delicious lunch, and then they have a swim in the rock pool, followed by lectures by our resident guides on the importance of tourism.

Tours to the nearby Ndebele Village and Whitewaters Secondary School provides an insight into the lives of the local people. The school in particular has been supported by guests of Big Cave Camp for many years. To date a library has been constructed and school fees, science equipment, desks, chairs, sporting goods and building materials have been donated. In times of real hardship a guaranteed meal has also been provided for all the school children. In addition a number of children have had their education sponsored by guests of Big Cave Camp.
