In Kachikau, Botswana, home to the world’s largest elephant population, a new story is being written. One where community, conservation, and technology unite to build a resilient future. This is the Camp Adiva.
A Village at the Heart of a Global Treasure
Imagine a community living in a state of profound contrast: surrounded by the unparalleled natural beauty of the Chobe Enclave, yet bound by the daily reality of a "wildlife curfew," where a trip after sunset is a life-threatening risk.
This is the story of Kachikau.
We believe the future of conservation lies not in building fences, but in empowering the true guardians of this ecosystem. Our mission is to provide the tools for the people of Chobe to transform their unique context from a challenge into a powerful economic opportunity, creating a beacon of coexistence for the world to see.
From Curation to Creation
Camp Adiva is a for-profit social enterprise designed to build a self-sustaining local economy. We do this through three interconnected pillars:
Community Media Hub
We are building a solar-powered digital hub to provide hands-on training for the people of Kachikau to produce and monetise high-quality digital content, from live wildlife streams to compelling cultural stories, for a global audience.
Data-Driven Coexistence
We use ethical AI, sensor networks, and collaborative research to gather verifiable data on human-wildlife interactions. This data informs practical, community-led solutions to reduce conflict and ensure the safety of both people and animals.
Digital Economy
We create direct pathways for residents to launch digital micro-businesses. By turning data insights into services and media content into products, we foster a resilient local economy directly linked to the preservation of the surrounding ecosystem.
