In a groundbreaking initiative, Mahoora by Eco Team, a leading name in Experiential Wildlife Tourism, has launched a product that makes wildlife safaris and mobile-tented camping experiences accessible to differently-abled individuals.
This initiative, the first of its kind in Sri Lanka and globally, is set to be launched at their Wilpattu Camp before being extended to other locations.
Mahoora by Eco Team has been providing high-quality tented camping experiences and wildlife safaris since 1998. Their commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism is evident in their operations.
They aim to offer guests an immersive and unforgettable encounter with the natural wonders of Sri Lanka, and this new initiative is a testament to their dedication to inclusivity.
The company has made special modifications to the tents and safari vehicles to ensure safety and comfort for all differently-abled guests. They have worked with accessibility experts to improve tent accessibility with features like ramped entrances, wider doorways, and specially adapted bathrooms for wheelchair users.
These modifications are designed to make the camping experience enjoyable and hassle-free for all guests, regardless of their physical abilities, according to a report by Daily News Lakehouse.
This initiative aims to provide memorable experiences for differently-abled individuals and raise awareness about inclusivity within the tourism industry.
Mahoora by Eco Team has been a pioneer in Glamping in Sri Lanka since 1998 and is known for its high-quality tented camping experiences and wildlife safaris. Their new initiative is a significant step towards making these experiences accessible to all.
The concept of accessible glamping and outdoor experiences for the differently-abled is gaining traction globally. Glamping, a combination of glamour and camping, is an eco-friendly form of travel that offers the advantages of camping with the conveniences of a high-end hotel.
Some glamping sites are making efforts to be wheelchair accessible, providing easy access and a large amount of space inside their accommodations.
Accessible adventure, a part of ‘accessible tourism’, is a growing sector of the tourism industry that strives to make travel more convenient for those with some form of disability. This aligns with the initiative by Mahoora by Eco Team to make wildlife safaris and mobile-tented camping experiences accessible to differently-abled individuals.
