Lusaka Hotels Get Eco-friendly

In Zambia, where nature is a big attraction, it makes sense for Lusaka hotels to get with the programme and go green.

As global consciousness increases around nature conservation and eco-friendly practices, individuals and corporations are taking steps to do their bit for the environment. Lusaka hotels like the Southern Sun Lusaka are cognisant of this fact and are changing the way they run their business and host their guests. The Southern Sun Lusaka has been certified as environmentally responsible, having met the requirements for Silver Classification of the Heritage Environmental Rating Programme.

Because of their tourism profile, even more Lusaka hotels should be falling in line with international pressure to adopt environmentally responsible products and services so look out for things like separate bins for recyclable materials in the rooms and public areas, water-saving operations like more infrequent laundering of linen and towels, and requests to use water sparingly. Some of these practices will be less obvious, but exist all the same.

Visitors to Zambia often have only one thing on their minds to see big game in its natural environment. Faced with the beauty associated with a wild, unspoilt landscape, tourists should come away feeling more environmentally aware. Little things like taking care to throw litter away in the right refuse bins, showering instead of bathing (or treating yourself to fewer baths than normal) and not leaving taps running become habits with practice and conscious thought.

Litter is one of the biggest threats to nature: clogging up and polluting water bodies, being ingested by animals, or even trapping animals once it becomes water-laden and heavy enough to sink below the surface. Lusaka hotels can set the trend by helping to change the attitudes of visitors and guests towards caring for their surroundings.

Southern Sun Lusaka sets the tone with its carefully landscaped gardens, which create a tranquil space in which to relax and unwind. It is one of the Lusaka hotels located close to Zambias youngest reserve, the Lower Zambezi National Park. You can take a two-and-a-half hour drive there, which gives you more time to experience what the country is like, or charter a plane to fly you there in less than an hour.

The Lower Zambezi National Park offers unforgettable views of the Zambezi River and the wildlife that it sustains. The area on either side of the river is protected and the park faces the well-known Mana Pools Reserve in neighbouring Zimbabwe.
