Campi ya Kanzi – Kenya<br />
You can’t get more original about eco-friendly than Africa.<br />
Famed for its awe-inspiring safari experiences and beautiful<br />
nature landscapes, it is no wonder that Africa offers some of<br />
the world’s best ecotourism. Driven by the same philosophy,<br />
Campi ya Kanzi offers accommodation that is entirely<br />
environment friendly. With source of water coming from rain<br />
cropping, electricity generated via 72 photovoltaic panels,<br />
hot water from solar panels and food cooked using an ecofriendly<br />
charcoal, Campi ya Kanzi is truly an eco-friendly lodge<br />
to its core. The place is owned and run by the local Maasai<br />
community to offer an authentic African experience. Here you<br />
can learn of its vibrant culture and ethnicity while being<br />
surrounded by pristine wilderness. This award-winning<br />
ecolodge is also green at heart where guests can contribute<br />
to the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust for every day<br />
spent at Campi ya Kanzi. This is in support of the community’s<br />
efforts to preserve the wilderness, wildlife and culture.<br />

Whitepod Resort – the Swiss Alps<br />
Fancy living in a pod while being captivated by its surrounding<br />
views? Whitepod Resort is the answer. Providing you with an<br />
exclusive and unique experience, Whitepod Resort is an<br />
ecological resort located within the most stunning snowcovered<br />
peaks in the world. Situated at the base of Dents-du-<br />
Midi mountain range, Whitepod resort allows its guests to<br />
admire the beauty of the picturesque Swiss Alps without<br />
harming its surrounding environment. The warm, inviting pods<br />
are energy-efficient and have low impact on nature. It is<br />
constructed in such a way where the ambient airflow within is<br />
continuous, thus requiring less energy to circulate air and<br />
maintain even temperature. Plus, it uses closed fireplaces to<br />
slow down wood consumption, incorporates local resources<br />
such as spring water and wood and uses 100% biodegradable<br />
cleaning products. The designer even took the ecology<br />
concept a step further by blending in the colour of pods with<br />
the changing seasons – white in winter, green in summer.<br />
Don’t pass this opportunity up if you happen to ski in the<br />
region. Book and freshen yourself up in one of these awesome<br />
