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.
Swala Camp is an exclusive safari lodge nestled in an acacia forest on the edge of the savannah in the south-west of the Tarangire National Park, one of the most fascinating in Tanzania. Here, among towering baobab trees, gracefully moving elephants and flocks of flying birds, the safari experience becomes authentic and unforgettable.
Built in accordance with the highest ecological standards, Swala Camp has 12 luxurious tents, shaded by majestic acacia trees and overlooking a waterhole where elephants, lions and leopards drink at dawn and dusk. The interiors, furnished with traditional materials, combine elegance and authenticity, perfectly in tune with the surroundings.
Each tent is equipped with double or separate beds, comfortable seating and a private bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower, offering maximum comfort without sacrificing the connection with nature. To make the experience even more exclusive, each tent is equipped with a personal butler, ready to attend to your every need and make your stay a unique and refined experience.
The heart of the resort is an elegant central area, built on stilts around a majestic, centuries-old baobab tree, where you will find the dining room, library and a panoramic terrace. For moments of pure relaxation, a spectacular infinity pool overlooks the savannah, offering breathtaking views.
