Partnership: 1The "Safe Water for Schools" program was created with a simple yet essential goal: to guarantee clean drinking water to students living in the most remote areas, where access to safe water sources remains out of reach.
Providing safe water inside schools is one of the most effective ways to protect children's health, reduce waterborne illnesses, and ensure they can attend classes regularly.
To achieve this, the project collaborates with Vestergaard, the manufacturer of LifeStraw filtration systems. Instead of relying on complex or invasive infrastructure, the program installs community filters directly within schools.
These are highly advanced, eco-friendly devices capable of removing over 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and parasites without the use of chemicals or the need for electricity or batteries. Each purifier can treat up to 100,000 liters of water, meeting the needs of an entire school for three to five years.
This project is supported by the following properties: Chobe Chilwero Lodge (Botswana), Olonana Lodge (Kenya), Tambarare Camp (Kenya), Kitirua Plains Lodge (Kenya), Ngorongoro Crater Camp (Tanzania), Swala Camp (Tanzania), Sussi & Chuma Lodge (Zambia), Kichakani Camp (Tanzania), and Gorilla Forest Lodge (Uganda).
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
There is also a strong aspect of direct involvement.
Guests staying at the lodge have the opportunity to purchase a LifeStraw filter in advance and personally attend its installation at the receiving school—witnessing firsthand the tangible impact of their donation and actively contributing to the initiative.
Overlooking the grassy plateau of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Tambarare Camp is an exclusive retreat immersed in unspoiled African landscape, where the Big Five roam freely, including the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth. We are in the heart of the Laikipia plateau in central Kenya: a vast region that is gently rolling yet rugged, capable of conveying a sense of primordial grandeur and timeless charm.
In recent decades, Laikipia has established itself as one of the most virtuous conservation models in East Africa, with extraordinary results, especially in the protection of rhinos. In this context, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy – home to Tambarare Camp – has played a decisive role, becoming a symbol of success and concrete commitment. As a privileged base from which to explore this wild nature, surrounded by discreet and never ostentatious luxury, Tambarare is unrivalled.
The camp has only 10 luxury safari tents, characterized by contemporary elegance, and a private villa, making it the most exclusive in the area. Located in the shadow of Mount Kenya, it reflects a deep respect for the environment thanks to its careful, low-impact design, which nevertheless surprises and fascinates. The colors and textures echo the surrounding nature: sun-bleached woods, wicker lampshades, vibrant fabrics, and intense portraits of Samburu women. The canvas ceilings and soft lighting contribute to a refined and welcoming atmosphere.
Strategically located opposite an important wildlife gathering point, the camp offers spectacular views of buffalo, zebras, and rhinos grazing on the plains. The main tent, furnished with comfortable sofas and inviting seating, is ideal for relaxation, while the adjacent Boma Bar is perfect for an aperitif at sunset, sharing stories under the immense African sky. Tambarare is, ultimately, an intimate and sophisticated retreat, where impeccable service and indulgent comfort blend in perfect harmony with the natural environment.
