Tortilis Camp goes 100% Solar!
After months of hard work filled with calculations, negotiations, and installations of over 190 solar panels on a site larger than 500m², we are finally there! These panels power 48 batteries, each weighing 216kg. By going solar, we will be able to reduce our use of diesel by 28,000 litres a year, dropping our CO2 emissions by approximately 60 Tons per year!

The panels are positioned unobtrusively & are only visible from the air, so clients can enjoy silent, green 24 hour energy!
In our pledge to be a leader in Responsible and Sustainable Tourism, we continue to strive for Gold at all properties and there are plans to extend 100% solar energy among the entire portfolio of camps, so watch this space...
