Sustainability in Action

We are committed to positive and transformative impact. Here are some ways they do it at andBeyond Chobe Under Canvas.

Camping Sustainably
The semi-permanent andBeyond Chobe Under Canvas prides itself on having a light carbon footprint, finding sustainable ways to promote the importance of going green. Although there is no electricity at the camp, there are solar-powered lamps placed in each tent that help illuminate the space during the nighttime. In addition to these lights, guests use buckets to take hot water showers. Another way that the camp maintains a light footprint is by changing the location every five days, using carefully constructed tents that protect the environment and leave little to no impact on the national park.
Emphasis on Education
In rural African communities, it is not always easy to get an education. Sometimes students are faced with walking up to 5 kilometers per day to attend primary school. However, a partnership between andBeyond and Wild Impact has made a considerable difference in Botswana. Sexaxa Primary School was established more than a decade ago with classrooms, a kitchen, and ablutions, or religious facilities, though there are also plans to expand further. Another program, the Community Leaders Education Fund, provides college-aged students with bursaries to further their education on topics like human resources or early childhood development.
Access to Resources
A community forum between andBeyond, Wild Impact, and residents from villages in Botswana was held to pinpoint issues that the locals are facing. While healthcare infrastructure and human-wildlife conflict were identified as needs, one of the most prominent requests involved access to a stable water source. The scarcity of water has been redressed by the addition of boreholes in the ground that offer direct access to clean groundwater. Hippo water rollers, easy-to-use barrels that can be rolled instead of carried, have also been provided to transport the water, with a capacity of 91 liters, or 25 gallons, for each barrel.
