Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

Stanley Safari Lodge's main area of focus is environment protection by minimising consumption of water and electricity.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Stanley Safari Lodge tries to minimise its environmental footprint through a variety of measures and initiatives.

The electricity in Zambia is hydro powered, resulting in zero carbon dioxide emissions. However, the lodge has also undertaken various power saving measures with energy saving lights throughout the property. They are also replacing the electric geysers with solar-powered alternatives.

The lodge also follows some minimal impact water saving measures. All the clean drinking water is obtained from a local borehole. All grey water is collected centrally and cleaned via a system of aerobic and anaerobic chambers and ponds with various plants and fish. At the bottom of these ponds, water is continually pumped to the top and refiltered; the water is then used to water the lawns and gardens.
