Klaserie Drift just took another step towards our sustainability goals with the arrival of our brand new solar panels - taking us completely off-grid! Read on to find out more...

We are thrilled to share the exhilarating news that Klaserie Drift Misava is taking yet another momentous step towards sustainable living and preserving the breathtaking world we call home. This month, our long-awaited solar panels finally arrived and were installed, providing clean and load-shedding-free energy to our entire lodge!

As an intimate safari lodge where luxury and sustainability intertwine, we have always sought innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint and foster a harmonious coexistence with nature. The addition of these solar panels marks a pivotal moment in this sustainable journey, instilling a sense of pride in our entire team

Not only that, but we significantly reduce our reliance on conventional energy sources, thus decreasing our carbon emissions and contributing to the fight against climate change. This shift towards renewable energy echoes our ethos of conservation and ensures that every guest can sleep peacefully in the knowledge that their stay is not costing the Earth. It's not just about ticking a box; it's about living and breathing our values every day.
However, our journey towards sustainability does not end here. With more safaris, more wildlife encounters, and more unforgettable moments under the African sky, we are always looking for new ways to keep our environmental footprint to a minimum. So, keep watching this space! Here's to the sun, the savannah, and the exciting new chapter in our lodge's story.
