Sustainability
The lodge has been constructed with a focus on locally sensitive green technology to minimize its environmental footprint. Waste management practices include treating toilet waste via an on-site biowaste system, utilizing greywater for grounds irrigation, and composting kitchen waste whenever possible. Renewable energy sources, including solar power, are prioritized for electricity and hot water heating. Over 150 locals were employed during construction to both support the community and enhance local building skills. Artisan furniture and crafts adorn the property, showcasing local craftsmanship. Efforts are underway to replace non-native tree species with slower-growing native varieties, fostering wildlife habitats and conserving water resources. Additionally, the lodge contributes to conservation efforts by donating ten dollars per guest per night to the African Wildlife Foundation.
