Sustainability in Action

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

Camping Sustainably
One of the main ways that andBeyond Savute Under Canvas ensures a light carbon footprint is by changing its location every few days, using carefully constructed tents that help protect the environment and ensure there is no impact left on the park. Another way that the camp promotes sustainability and the importance of going green is by having no electricity, and relying on solar-powered lamps that are placed in each tent to illuminate the space at night. Guests can also use buckets to take hot water showers in their en-suite bathrooms.
Emphasis on Education
In rural communities in Africa, it often requires effort to go to class. Students sometimes walk up to 5 kilometers per day to get to primary school. But, through a partnership between andBeyond and Wild Impact, Botswana has seen a considerable difference in access to education. Sexaxa Primary School was established more than a decade ago, with classrooms, a kitchen, and ablutions, or religious facilities, built near pastoral villages. There are plans to expand further. The Community Leaders Education Fund has also been crucial, providing college-aged students with bursaries that allow them to further their education.
Access to Resources
Although andBeyond and Wild Impact often collaborate, a recent community forum with the residents of villages located near Botswana’s Chobe National Park helped the organizations pinpoint important issues the locals are facing. Aside from access to healthcare and human-wildlife conflict, scarcity of water was one of the biggest problems. With the addition of hippo water rollers – easy-to-use barrels that hold 91 liters, or 25 gallons, and can be rolled across the ground instead of carried – have been pivotal in providing access to a stable water source while also ensuring that the transportation is smooth and painless.
