COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Mtito Safari Camp operates on a serious, rigorous policy to make sure that all avenues that could lead to any environmental degradation because of our operations are seriously investigated. Mtito Camp has put all measures in place that would aid in any prevention from any form of environment and community disturbance and a firm believer in giving back both to the environment and local surrounding.

VEGETABLE GARDEN

Nothing beats the taste of freshly cut vegetables. We grow more than 95% of vegetables consumed at the camp. From Broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, cucumber, lettuce etc.  The camp prides itself on being one of the best places to eat fresh vegetables. As a policy, no vegetables are refrigerated because it is garden-to the plate, especially for the salads. No chemicals/pesticides or fertilizers are used. The garden is 100% organic with organic methods of pest control employed, as explained below in waste management. In addition, the staff take great joy in having fresh farm produce, exactly like their traditional home style, where food must be made fresh every time. A visit to the garden can be done, just request at the reception and the chef will proudly show you. You can even choose what vegetable you would like to eat, depending on what time you visit the shamba(garden).

In addition to the vegetables, at Mtito Safari Camp we produce most of our spices. This way, our kitchen maintains a very high level of organic produce which you will find greatly fulfilling and very tasty.

We produce majority of our spices, both fresh herbs and grounded herbs. You will love our yummy kitchen produce, and even more interesting is that we use organic sauces that are produce in our farm. We have several varieties that we grow organic, and some of them are purely for grinding to make additions to the sauces and soups. So, fear not, of over spiced foods. But should your tongue love its hot, we still have the herbs for you.

Waste management:  without a doubt waste continues to be produced every day, as part of life.  Here at Mtito we use the policy of REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. 90% of our waste constitutes black water, grey water and organic matter from kitchen.

The camp has built a biodigester which consists of bacterial chamber and filtration chambers. Both the back and grey water is directly fed into the bacterial chamber where a natural process of bacterial consumption takes place. All the hard matter is digested in this chamber and passes through to the 3-step filtration process. While at this level the water is ready for release into the environment, we still take through the natural Leeds rhizome purification process, whereby the roots for the Leeds purify the water and at is released back to environment. This is the water that we use for our camp trees and bushes.

All the waste is sorted at the source, with strict rules to follow the sorting procedure. All the organic waste is piled at the compost pit near the vegetable garden. It is let to decompose and is later used as part of the compost for our organic garden. This way, we are able to keep our garden’s nutrients replenished while at the same time taking care of our organic waste. It is crucial to note that since we grow most of our vegetables, the majority of our organic waste is taken care of at the source, where what will not be needed in the kitchen, it is taken care of at the garden and left there as organic compost.

Definitely, there is that small portion of waste doesn’t decompose easily. We have a adopted a policy of ordering supplies that are packed in 100% recyclable materials so that it can be collected and delivered to recycling centers where it will be taken care of with minimum residue if any.

In addition, the camp has declared a NO PLASTICS or aluminum foils policy. Recyclable aluminum water bottles are provided in the rooms and even for picnic meals, thereby forbidding the use of plastics within the camp. Tins/metallic wastes are handed over to recycling centers for smelting and recycling.

Obviously the office uses minimized paperwork, and repairs and maintenance departments have wood wastes. These two are put in the incinerator, thereby producing ashes that are good for our garden. Wood ash, also known as potash, is a good source of potassium for the soil. The ash from the incinerator acts both as a fertilizer, natural deterrent and a pesticide to some soft bodied insects that can wreak havoc to the growing vegetables.

The vegetable garden is open to visit, just request from the reception and the chef will show you around. You can even choose vegetables of your choice for lunch or dinner, depending on what time you manage to visit.

There are 3 water harvesting stations within the camp. Rainwater provides free, pure drinking water. The harvested water is then treated and purified through an advanced purification and filtration system. That is why drinking water for our guests and staff is never for sale. Mother nature has taken care of us all. In addition, this also helps us minimize what is coming into camp, reducing waste production before it happens.

The camp has a borehole that provides more than enough water for entire camp use. The water is solar-powered and is pumped into the raised reservoir tanks and is supply to the whole camp through gradient. This way the need for further power use in pumping is reduced. While the water is fine for drinking, it is a bit saline and not tasty to drink. However, drinking water is provided in the room for free.

The camp is 100% solar powered 24 hours. From shower water in your rooms, staff quarters, street lighting including the kitchen. The showers use advanced standalone solar boilers that use any minimal solar energy available and converting it heating energy. Water Is heated and stored in the thermal tanks, waiting for your use. At the same time, same solar energy is stored in the batteries for use at night. So, during the day we use pure natural light and direct solar power, while at night we use stored energy generated during the day. That includes the water pump. Solar has its limits also during the rainy season. We have a back up generator for such days, which is rarely used, but on standby, should the need arise.

For some food items, Pressure cookers are used to conserve cooking gas. This way, cooking time is reduced by more that 40%, thereby reducing cooking gas used, eventually minimizing emissions.

The best part. We take pride in having the best team. Very cooperative, eager to help and quick to serve. You will feel at home the minute you arrive at the gate. You will be welcomed to the camp, and you will start creating those memories that you treasure forever. Should you need anything or any assistance, feel free to reach out to any staff and you will be assisted. All the staff are especially trained in first aid and emergency procedures. But most importantly, they are the leaders in environmental matters where they continue to be part of the ever-on going tree planting. Every staff member has planted a tree, with the responsibility of seeing to it that the tree is taken care for, in return to all the good that mother nature has provided unto us and the earth at large. Let’s all offset some carbon emissions every day.
