The Great Plains Conservation’s sustainable ethos ensures our camps are constructed from natural and recycled materials and run almost entirely off solar power.

We use UV reverse osmosis for drinking water and eco-friendly greywater recycling systems.
Zarafa Camp has a cutting-edge biogas system that converts vegetable scraps into methane-based cooking gas, for example.

We are committed to reducing waste and eliminating single-use plastic in all of our camps.

At Great Plains, guests can experience a blend of 100% conservation with 100% luxury, compromising neither while maximising both.

In the spirit of luxury, Zarafa Camp was awarded the first-ever accreditation by Relais & Châteaux of a safari camp in Botswana. Selinda Camp and Duba Plains Camp have since joined Zarafa. ol Donyo Lodge, Mara Plains Camp, Mara Toto Tree Camp and Mara Nyika Camp hold the same distinction as the only Relais & Châteaux properties in Kenya. Tembo Plains Camp is recognised as the only Relais & Châteaux safari camp in Zimbabwe.

All these safari camps are handpicked for their exceptional safari experiences and commitment to sustainable practices. They are all ideally suited and well-placed to be your first picks when considering safari camps for your luxury African safari.
