CARBON REDUCTION

The Floating Safari Camp in Swedish Lapland, is deeply committed to minimising their environmental footprint and fostering a harmonious relationship with the pristine wilderness that surrounds us. Their sustainability practices are woven into the very fabric of the operation, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same untouched beauty we cherish today.

They have implemented a strict policy against single-use plastics. From the kitchen to guest amenities, and prioritise reusable and sustainable alternatives. They source local produce and ingredients, reducing transportation emissions and supporting regional economies. Meals are prepared with care, focusing on fresh, seasonal offerings, and any leftover food is composted, minimising waste.

Their commitment to responsible waste management extends to their sanitation facilities. They utilise state-of-the-art compostable toilets, which minimise water usage and transform waste into valuable fertiliser. This closed-loop system ensures that the impact on the delicate lake ecosystem is negligible. Greywater from showers and dishwashing is carefully filtered and treated before being released, preventing pollution and safeguarding water quality.

ENVIRONMENT & WILDLIFE

Their respect for nature is paramount. They operate with a 'leave no trace' philosophy, ensuring that their presence has minimal impact on the surrounding environment, and encourage guests to participate in their sustainability efforts, providing information about responsible tourism and the importance of respecting the local flora and fauna. The guided forest walks and wilderness activities are conducted with a focus on education and conservation, emphasising the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

The Floating Safari Camp is mindful of their energy consumption, utilising solar power and energy-efficient appliances wherever possible. The floating camp is designed to minimise its impact on the lake, with careful consideration given to its placement and construction. They prioritise the use of sustainable materials and minimise noise pollution to preserve the tranquility of the natural environment.

They collaborate with local communities and organisations to support conservation efforts and promote sustainable tourism practices, and believe in empowering local people and respecting their traditions, ensuring that their operations benefit the region as a whole. Our goal is to create a truly immersive and sustainable experience, allowing guests to connect with nature while minimising their impact. The camp works together with conservation of Råne Älvdal and the surrounding areas building partnerships with the local Forestry Companies as well as the Sami Villages.

They constantly strive to improve our sustainability practices, seeking innovative solutions and adopting new technologies that reduce our environmental footprint. We are committed to transparency and accountability, regularly evaluating performance and seeking feedback from their guests and partners. By embracing sustainable practices, they aim to preserve the pristine beauty of Swedish Lapland for generations to come, creating a truly unforgettable and responsible wilderness experience.

Private transfers are with electric vehicles, boats are usually rowed by local staff and guides, and where required, train travel is used instead of flying.
