Ol Donyo Lodge's Positive Impact

Ol Donyo is a key member of the Great Plains group, a distinguished consortium of lodges and safari operations committed to sustainable conservation, community development, and commerce. Great Plains views tourism as a vehicle for positive change, originally starting as a conservation organization. It champions 'conservation tourism,' integrating eco-tourism with environmental preservation efforts.
 
Great Plains employs numerous sustainable practices across its locations, including Ol Donyo. They use solar energy powered by advanced Tesla batteries, bio-digesters for methane gas, and recycled hardwood for construction. Owning over 1 million acres of conserved land, the group ensures that every guest stay aids significant initiatives like Rhinos Without Borders.
 

Additionally, Great Plains focuses on minizing its carbon footprint by offering guests options to offset their travel emissions through contributions to tree planting, solar home initiatives, and protecting the Sapi Conservancy.
