The Elewana Collection has boosted its investment in the future of East African tourism by creating two new educational curriculums at its safari resorts in Kenya and Tanzania.

The Elewana Service Training & Hospitality School at The Manor Ngorongoro will recruit trainees from colleges around Tanzania for a 3.5-month intensive course that covers service training, housekeeping, food and beverages and hosting, all under the supervision of Elewana’s top hospitality specialists.

The Elewana Guiding School, which will operate across properties in Kenya and Tanzania, will support the training needs of current guides and provide the necessary resources to support them. Relaunching in 2022, the guide apprenticeship program is currently interviewing candidates.

The year-long program will allow apprentices to move between camps, enabling them to gain knowledge regarding different biomes and regions. They will be assessed according to their skills and capabilities and will undergo rigorous on-site training to advance to new levels of achievement.

The aim is to ensure that Elewana guides are the best in the business and this investment in their career development is testimony to the company’s commitment to this goal. Successful graduates of the program will join the Elewana guide team.
