Mhondoro takes on DOT Challenge, eliminates plastic bottles

21 Jul 2017

Mhondoro Game Lodge has eliminated the use of plastic water bottles in support of Braam Malherbe's DOT Challenge. The five-star luxury game lodge located in the Welgevonden Game Reserve in Limpopo, has invested in a water purification plant that produces fresh drinking water from the surrounding Waterberg mountains.

We are proud to announce that we have officially moved away from plastic water bottles and only use complimentary stainless steel water bottles for the Lodge and Villa guests. #Mhondoro #noplastic #LoveSA

In guest rooms, plastic water bottles have been replaced by glass bottles, while each guest receives a personalised aluminium water bottle that can be refilled with fresh, purified water for game drives, and to take along on their return journey home.

Extreme adventurer, highly respected inspirational speaker and conservationist Braam Malherbe conceptualised the DOT Challenge to connect like-minded individuals on a global scale and to encourage every human being to Do One Thing (DOT) to protect and preserve our planet.

Mhondoro’s entire operation is based on sound environmental conservation practices and it is committed to making a contribution in each of the DOT Challenge categories - water, waste, conservation, and energy. All excess waste is 100% recycled, including glass, cans, paper, and food. Organic material is composted and used in the lodge’s kitchen garden where up to 45% of the fresh produce used in the restaurant is organically grown.
