Last year GLP documented 20 projects throughout seven countries across Africa, including the Mihingo Lodge in Uganda. Run by a husband-and-wife team, Mihingo was built with locally harvested dead and unused olive wood. Centered on sustainability principals, the lodge allows both employees and guests to experience wildlife and nature. When it comes to renewable energy, eco-lodges, wildlife conservation, and community-development projects, “some of the simplest ideas are often the best,” Holmes says.
