Lemala Camps and Lodges Unveils 2025 ‘Untold Stories’ – Redefining Luxury in the Wild
Emphasizing
regenerative practices, the report showcases how Lemala integrates
sustainability at the core of its operations, blending luxury with ecological
and community stewardship.
CEO
Leanne Haigh describes the approach as “regenerative existence”—going beyond
sustainability to actively restore ecosystems and support local communities.
Key
initiatives include eco-friendly architectural designs, such as the upcoming
Lemala Osonjoi Lodge, featuring solar-powered, low-impact structures. Across
all properties, solar power replaces diesel, cutting carbon emissions by 150
tonnes annually. Hydrological advancements ensure pure drinking water without
plastic, and circular economies transform waste into functional items like
school desks and lodge furniture.
Community
engagement is central, with initiatives supporting local development, female
empowerment, and wildlife protection. From the Serengeti De-snaring Teams to
solar projects for Maasai communities, Lemala’s holistic approach fosters
social progress and environmental resilience.
As
a leader in safari hospitality, Lemala’s efforts highlight a bold reimagining
of luxury—one that prioritizes measurable positive impact while offering
exceptional guest experiences.
