THE ENVIRONMENT
Severin Safari Camp and Kitani Lodge meet ecological tourism standards in order to ensure that the park‘s sensitive ecosystem is preserved. This allows humans and animals to coexist in harmony. The properties have been carefully constructed to minimize the impact on the fragile Tsavo West ecosystem; we utilize solar technology whenever possible, have implemented strict waste management system and have a biological waste water treatment plant. Waste water from tents and the kitchen is collected and filtered through lava stones, gravel and sand.
