Partnership: 1 The "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.
Surrounded by the outstanding natural beauty of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro Crater Camp offers an exclusive and unforgettable safari experience. Located close to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, the camp enjoys a privileged position for exploring one of Africa's seven natural wonders, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The crater, formed two to three million years ago after a massive volcanic eruption, is the largest inactive, uninterrupted, and unfilled volcanic caldera in the world. This geological wonder is home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, including the legendary ‘Big Five’ - lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo - along with zebra, hippo, flamingo, and many other species.
The camp combines luxury with authentic safari charm. Its spacious tents, equipped with comfortable beds, private bathrooms with hot water and outdoor seating areas, offer an intimate and cosy retreat. Guests can relax after the safari while enjoying fine meals, prepared with fresh ingredients and inspired by local and international flavours. Guests can choose to dine in the common room, outdoors under the African sky or in the privacy of their own tent. Activities include game drives in the crater, explorations on foot in the surrounding forest and cultural visits to Maasai villages to immerse oneself in local culture and traditions. The camp also stands out for its commitment to sustainability, supporting biodiversity conservation and local communities.
The Camp represents the perfect combination of adventure, comfort, and cultural discovery, making it a must-visit stop for anyone visiting Tanzania, one of Africa's most spectacular destinations.
