Our camp, Lake Natron Camp, is set at the edge of one of the most beautiful sites in the region (world?). An active volcano is our back drop, the lake our foreground and the Maasai of Ngare Sero our partners, hosts, guides, massage therapists, room cleaners and our community.

Back in 2013 we set up this camp as a passion project. Over a decade later, and by committing to the community we now have all but one position now employing people from the local village. We also pay a direct $15 per person per night that stays with us right to the village. All told this means that as we have become a successful business venture the income to the village, through both bednight fees and income from employment is now really significant. This success also has become a liability.

On the afternoon of the 15th of February, right in a seasonal peak in business, a massive once in a lifetime storm hit and destroyed 7 out of 10 accommodation tents, the dining, spa, staff areas. The camp is functionally destroyed.

This means that until we can get back on our feet our community will loose valuable income that they use for anything from supporting kids through secondary education, community resourcing for teacher support, school development, emergency evacuations for the sick and so on and so on. A valuable lifeline has been cut short and we need YOUR HELP to solve this short term problem.

Please consider donating just $15 (more is fine!!) and I know that our community of friends, past guests and loved ones can make a difference to a community that continues to develop and provides visitors with joy every single day.

ALL funds will be recorded transparently and handed over to the village by the 15th of March. Show some love - you'll see where it lands!!
