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.
Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp is a luxurious mobile camp located in the heart of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. This camp offers a unique safari experience, combining the comfort of high-quality accommodations with the excitement of being immersed in the wilderness. One of the distinguishing features of Sanctuary Kichakani is its mobility: the camp is moved between two locations, in the north and south of the Serengeti, to follow the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra . This allows guests to always be in the best positions to observe this extraordinary natural phenomenon.
The camp features luxurious tents that combine traditional African elements with modern comforts. Each tent has private facilities, including a shower and flush toilets, a comfortable bed and elegant furnishings that create a refined atmosphere. The name "Kichakani" means "in the savannah" in the Swahili language, and it is in this environment that guests can enjoy safaris led by experienced local rangers, participating in morning and evening game drives. These excursions offer the chance to spot the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos), as well as numerous other wildlife species.
In the evening, guests can gather around the traditional campfire, swap stories under the starry sky, and listen to passionate guides share their knowledge about wildlife encounters and local legends. Sanctuary Kichakani also offers opportunities to meet and interact with local Maasai communities, allowing guests to learn more about their culture, traditions and way of life. The camp is committed to sustainability and conservation, operating with minimal environmental impact and using eco-friendly practices. In addition, the camp contributes to local conservation projects, supporting environmental and wildlife protection.
Guests can enjoy gourmet meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients, with dinner often served under the stars, creating a unique and atmospheric dining experience in the heart of the Serengeti. The Kichakani is an ideal choice for those seeking a safari experience that combines luxury with direct contact with the wilderness.
