Living green at Salama House

If you've visited before, you'll know just how precious and fragile Watamu's environment is. Here's everything we're doing to help care for this special place through Salama House:

Full solar power - We're now off the grid with a newly installed full home solar system!

Rain water harvesting - We've installed a 90,000 litre water catchment system for the house and pool.

Composting and recycling - We compost all food waste and recycle as much as we can with a local environmental charity.

Local food and produce - We encourage our guests to buy from local shopkeepers. The fruit and veggies are cheap and healthy!

Reducing our energy use - We don't use hot water in the house and prefer ceiling fans to power-hungry air-con!

Carbon offsetting - We donate a portion of our income to schemes designed to offset the carbon footprint of our guests.
