At Severin Safari Camp we practise the principals of ecologial tourism, thus, protecting our natural ressources which is one of our main goals. We have therefore developed a programme both at Severin Sea Lodge and Severin Safari Camp which is environmental friendly.
In Tsavo, we work closely with the Kenya Wildlife Service, as it is important for us to also educate our guests and partners in the necessity of saving the environment and nature. Severin Safari Camp is the first camp to possess a waste water treatment plant. Waste water from tents and the kitchen is collected and filtered in a natural way with lava stones, gravel and sand. It is then used for watering the 25 hectare lawn within the camp. Fresh water is brought to Severin Safari Camp by using their own pipeline which comes directly from Mzima Springs whose water also serves the Kenyan coast with drinking water. Hot water for showering is gained day and night exclusively by solar energy and heat recovery of the power generators. Therefore, for heating the water, we don't need any diesel or electricity. Lamps with low energy bulbs light the camp and at the "Out of Africa"
A special bin has been placed into every tent to allow waste separation of organic and inorganic waste. Keeping away monkeys is a special environmental task in Africa. At Severin Safari Camp organic waste is dried in so-called "monkey cages" which can't be entered by the animals and then burned in lava ovens and composted. All glass bottles as well as plastic waste are brought outside the national park and recycled.
International environmental awards prove our commitment to sustainable eco tourism.
