EcoBurrito is a community-conservation restaurant located in Bigodi Village, Kamwenge District, Uganda. If you are Ugandan and never tasted (or heard of) a burrito, or if you are traveling in western Uganda and craving some food from home, EcoBurrito is the place to visit. We take familiar Ugandan foods--rice, beans, avocados,
and chapatis--and make them into something new (and familiar to many to
urists): burritos! In addition to our focus on making the best burrito this side of the Sahara, we are committed to the community and the environment. EcoBurrito (1) buys local ingredients from local farmers, (2) hires local staff and provides in-service training for people in the community, and (3) works with local schools and the Kibale Association for Rural and
Environmental Development (KAFRED). We also work to spread awareness about conservation. We are located right next to KAFRED's community run wetland sanctuary and we sit at the edge of Kibale National Park. Despite being protected areas, illegal poaching of forest animals is still a problem. We say: "Eat
burritos, not bushmeat!"
Our vision is to give 50% of net profits to wildlife and ecosystem conservation projects in and around Kibale National Park.
