Use of renewable energy - all three Mukambi camps run on 100% renewable solar energy and at Mukambi Safari Lodge they were the first in Zambia to install the most environmental friendly battery technology (LiFePO4). The Freedom Won battery gave Mukambi the opportunity to reduce its Carbon Footprint and greatly reduce their negative environmental impact, whilst maintaining the high standard of service.
Plastic Free - Mukambi strives to be plastic-free – they have water bottles for their international guests which are reusable and can be filled at the water dispenser. They have introduced glass and biodegradable straws, glass refillable amenities, and biodegradable packaging on all their goods from Lusaka PLUS they use eco-friendly cleaning materials. They also have a fantastic vegetable garden, growing as many of their own herbs and vegetables at the lodge.
Conservation – Mukambi is working closely with several NGOs, including Zambian Primate Project(ZPP), Panthera and Zambia Carnivore Programme (ZCP), as well as Department of National Parks and Wildlife, supporting anti-poaching as well as other conservation goals.
Support of local communities - Long-term conservation only can be accomplished in close cooperation with the local communities. Some of the projects launched by Mukambi to support the local community included a borehole for clean drinking water, giving the Mukambi Women’s Group an outlet for their handmade crafts in their curio shop, and supporting the local chieftainess with farming inputs, like oxen, ploughs and fertilizer. They also have a job training programme and 50 members of the local community now have permanent employment.
Guests at Mukambi can visit the projects to learn more about conservation and the local communities.
