It is a very well‑appointed lodge with ten individual stone villas, built inconspicuously on the side of a hill slope which looks out over the concession area. The concession area includes some large open plains and dry hill slopes with good opportunities to watch cheetah and a strip of riverine forest frequented by leopard. Guests at Kleins Camp can also take advantage of the great expanse of the Serengeti Plains, with quick access into the National Park and the opportunity to watch the migrating herds at the appropriate season.
It is built on a low sand island, but has close access to reed-lined permanent channels accessible in a small electric‑powered launch. Operational aspects were described by Buckley (2003a). Staff live in an on‑site village. Locals also operate a herb and vegetable garden, established with assistance from &Beyond’s Africa Fund, which sells its produce to the Lodge. Zanzibar: Mnemba Mnemba Island is a small sand cay on a reef just off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar in Tanzania. It supports typical vegetation for small subtropical reef islets: open woodland dominated by beach casuarinas; salt-tolerant trees such as the cannonball mangrove; and pan-tropical sandy-beach shrub species.
Cheetah were also reintroduced in 2001, with an initial population of nine individuals. The owners of the Kwandwe property also operate a community development fund, the Angus Gillis Foundation, which is funding optical services and community development infrastructure in neighbouring schools and villages, and which has assisted &Beyond in offering conservation lessons at Kwandwe to children from the nearby Fort Brown Primary School. One game drive vehicle from Kwandwe, with ranger and tracker, is allocated to these lessons one day each week (&Beyond, 2010).
