Emboo River Camp's Positive Impact
Adopting a holistic and closed-loop approach to sustainability, Emboo is a pioneer in innovation and technology. It has become the first African safari lodge committed to leaving nothing but footprints behind. Emboo's sustainability ethos permeates every aspect of its operation. A 140-square-meter solar farm powers the entire property, ensuring an uninterrupted hot water supply even on cloudy days, and Emboo prohibits using purification chemicals, ensuring zero toxic waste enters the ecosystem. Emboo's culinary offerings embrace conscious cooking, featuring farm-to-fork menus sourced from their on-site hydroponic garden.
Emboo's commitment extends beyond its borders through local partnerships and community engagement. Locally crafted furniture and a locally employed maintenance team underscore their dedication to sustainable practices. Guests are invited to partake in eco-conscious activities, including responsible hotel tours and immersive bush walks, all designed to minimise environmental impact.
