Kisampa
Kisampa is a private community conservation sanctuary that adjoins the unique coastal Saadani National Park in eastern Tanzania. Kisampa is a small eco friendly lodge, with the lightest, most delicate footprint. This endeavour is hand in hand with the local community engaging in socially and environmentally responsible tourism that helps to protect the area and brings money and resources directly to the community.
The camp can accommodate only 14 guests – keeping the experience intimate. Accomodation is in a simple stargazer bungalows or tents, designed to allow wide visibility of the immense African night sky and stunning private bush views. The bed area is protected by a mosquito net providing natural ventilation against the tropical heat and complete protection from insects and the elements. There is plenty of space for lying or sitting under the grass thatched roof in the cool of the shade. Each bungalow or tent has its own private and unique and natural bathroom set into the surrounding bush. A bush shower hangs from a convenient tree, open to the stars and steaming hot water is delivered for bathing at your request. Nature does the sensible thing with a classic safari box water-saving, composting loo and a scoopful of dead leaves to flush. Each bush bathroom has its own private vista across Kisampa.
This socially and environmentally responsible partnership aims to conserve the pristine environment on the south-western borders of the Saadani National Park for future generations of Tanzanians, whilst at the same time providing meaningful reward to the community today.
