Sustainable Magic in Madikwe: An Authentic Eco Safari Experience

Nestled in the heart of malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Mosetlha Bush Camp & Eco Lodge offers a truly unique and sustainable safari experience. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the wild, enjoying the beauty of nature while actively participating in eco-friendly practices. This blog post explores the innovative and sustainable solutions that make Mosetlha Bush Camp a beacon of green tourism.

At Mosetlha Bush Camp, the absence of conventional running water and electricity is transformed into an opportunity to engage with nature more deeply and responsibly.

Here's How...

One of the standout innovations is the Donkey Boiler. This ingenious system heats water over a fire, which is then displaced into a bucket. The bucket is hoisted up in an outdoor shower, with a shower rose attached, ensuring guests can enjoy a hot shower amidst the wilderness. This method not only guarantees a hot shower but also exemplifies a sustainable greening concept, completely removing reliance on electric or gas water heaters.

Mosetlha's eco toilets take sustainability a step further with the Ventilation Improved Pit (VIP) system, often referred to as the "VIP WC." These white porcelain toilets feature a chimney with a tube vent at the top, allowing for efficient air circulation.
This design ensures that the toilets remain odour and fly-free, providing a comfortable and hygienic experience for all guests.
These are far superior to the more commonly-known "long drop", allowing you to sit on a proper toilet.

In place of conventional electric lighting, Mosetlha employs charming and practical alternatives. Paraffin lamps illuminate common areas, casting a warm and inviting glow that enhances the camp's rustic charm.

Inside the cabins, solar jars provide ample light for reading and other activities - these are recharged during the day harnessing the power of the sun to brighten your nights.

Mosetlha Bush Camp & Eco Lodge is featured in the "Authentic Eco Lodges" book, which defines an authentic eco lodge as a property that uses sustainable building materials and practices, with a significant portion of the operation being community-owned and operated.
Mosetlha proudly fits this definition, with 15% of the camp being community-owned and actively contributing to the local economy.

The camp's commitment to sustainability extends beyond its infrastructure. Guests at Mosetlha can expect a safari experience that captures the true spirit and rhythm of the African bush, offering intimate wildlife encounters and the chance to reconnect with nature in its purest form.

At Mosetlha Bush Camp, the sustainable practices are not just environmentally friendly but also enhance the overall experience. The camp's approach to living lightly on the land allows guests to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world without the distractions of modern life.
Whether you're enjoying a hot shower heated by the Donkey Boiler, using the VIP eco toilets, or reading by the light of a solar jar, every aspect of your stay is designed to minimize impact and maximize enjoyment.
