Financial & Social information:
At total of 41,500,000 Shs (about $38,000) has gone into the local economy to date from our company.

Starting from July 2007, all bed night and land rent earnings go into a new village bank account for the purpose of building the new secondary school located in Monik.
The fiscal year of 2006 has been audited and our company created the biggest income for the village for that year.

Ecological information:
An environmental and social impact assessment and audit was done for this camp.
This camp system scored high on this assessment, and we continue to operate a very low impact eco-camp.
We are located in a sensitive and important wetland environment that needs protection.
We physically protect this environment from livestock overgrazing, poaching and hunting.
We physically protect this important Lake Natron water source from pollution and over use.
We have created a monetary value to this environment for the village.

Low impact system:
Only seven accomodation tents. No permanent structures. No cement and bricks. No wooden platforms. All materials can be packaged and removed. Camp sits on the ground making a very small footprint.
Bedu Shade Tents - The Bedu tents were designed and patented by Timothy Leach, a director and the general manager of Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge. They are designed to keep you cool during the day and protected from both flying insects and the sometimes fierce winds. Since the camp is exposed, camouflage is important for keeping the entire camp less visible (low view-shed pollution).
Water - bathing water is manually pumped directly out of the spring at this oasis. No vehicle transport required. The water is stored in an insulated tank above the shower and therefore the water remains cool and fresh.
Bathrooms - shower, basin and toilet are located in the back of the Bedu tent. Water consumption is low.
No discharge policy - all used water is soaked back into the ground.
Composting toilet - does not pollute the environment and is maintained by staff daily.
Rubbish/Trash - Initially burned then removed from the area where it is responsibly buried at Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge.
Electricity - Due to the need for refrigeration and fans, a small 3kW diesel generator is used during the day, while batteries run the electricity by night. The generator is under ground to prevent noise pollution.
Carbon Neutral - Diesel consumption is low, and we absorb carbon by planting indigenous trees on Mount Meru.
Management - Responsible management ensures a low impact on the environment.
