At Shose Farmhouse Chalets & Campsite, we believe that sustainable travel is not just a trendit’s a responsibility. Nestled in the heart of nature at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, we are dedicated to preserving the very environment that makes our location so special, while uplifting the community around us.

We have taken active steps to eliminate singleuse plastics from our operations. Instead of plastic water bottles, we serve fresh, purified drinking water in reusable glass bottles available in all guest rooms and the restaurant

Our entire property is powered by 100% solar energy. From lighting to water heating, every facility at Shose runs on clean, renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and significantly lowering overall carbon emissions.

Water is a precious resource, and we use it responsibly. Guests are encouraged to opt out of daily linen and towel changes, helping conserve water and reduce environmental impact. Changes are available upon request.

As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we are working to restore native biodiversity. This includes planting tree and plant species that support local wildlife, reduce erosion, and contribute to health of our ecosystem.

Much of the food served at our restaurant is grown on our organic farm, while the rest is sourced from local farmers and producers, reducing carbon footprint and ensuring fresh, high-quality meals for our guests.

We invite our guests to learn more about sustainable living and ecotourism through guided farm tours, nature walks, and by experiencing how eco-conscious hospitality can enhance their overall travel experience in meaningful and memorable ways.
