Guludo has won not one, but TWO Conde Nast Traveler World Savers Awards... and had an honorable mention in a third category!
With nominations from all over the globe we are both deeply honoured and thrilled to bits to win two such prestigious awards.
Guludo Beach Lodge is the Winner in the Poverty Relief category against all other travel companies; from hotel chains to resort chains to city hotels.
Guludo is also the overall Winner in our category of Small Resorts and Lodges.
In addition to this we were also Honorably mentioned for our work in Education.
"THE VISIONARIES Eight years ago, Amy and Neal Carter–James, a marine biologist and her former ad–exec husband, had a cheeky idea: Work with Mozambique’s fishing community to relieve poverty. The result: Guludo Beach Lodge (Overall Winner, Small Resorts; Winner, Poverty Relief), with nine bungalows on a blisteringly white beach. After snorkeling and exploring islands, guests can meet fishermen or join a match with the soccer team. Guludo has helped 15,000 people, digging 30 wells and feeding 650 school kids. “This was never just about Guludo,” Amy says. “It was our dream to realize tourism’s potential to address pressing issues”."
