Sustainability
Sustainability
Building with the land, for the generations that follow.
Sustainability Philosophy
Every decision we make, we make with the next generation in mind.
Sustainability, for Delaware, is not a policy document or a marketing position. It is the operating principle that guides every material we choose, every partner we engage, every design decision we make, and every gram of waste we refuse to generate.
In an industry often characterised by its environmental footprint, we choose a different path. We honour the land that makes our work possible by treating it as a partner, not a resource.
We do not build on the Serengeti.
We build with it.
Sustainability Pillars
Five Commitments. One Standard.
Pillar 01
Plastic-Free Operations
Across all our properties and operations, single-use plastics are eliminated entirely. We use glass, wood, and natural materials exclusively, partnering with artisans like Pamoja Blowers, whose handcrafted glassware serves both functional and decorative purposes in our guest spaces.

Pamoja Blowers
Pillar 02
Solar-Powered Energy
Every project we develop is powered by solar energy through our partnership with Delaware Solar. We are committed to building operations that generate zero reliance on fossil fuels, demonstrating that luxury and environmental responsibility are not in conflict, they are the same pursuit.

Pillar 03
Farm-to-Table Sourcing
Our lodges cultivate small, organic farms that supply fresh produce directly to our kitchens. Guests experience the authentic flavours of Tanzania, grown steps from where they dine. Nothing is flown in that can be grown here.
In partnership with
On-site Organic Farms
Pillar 04
Local Artisan Partnerships
We partner with Sidai through Dunia Design to source handcrafted local décor that brings cultural authenticity and economic opportunity to Tanzanian artisans. Every detail in our spaces tells a story that belongs to this land.

Pillar 05
Ecosystem Preservation
Our developments within the Serengeti are designed with minimal ecological footprint, in full alignment with TANAPA guidelines. We integrate conservation education into our guest programming, and a portion of all lodge revenues is dedicated to wildlife and habitat preservation.
