It is extremely unusual to find anything unique at a safari camp these days so I was quite pleased to see the innovative approach to the traditional bucket shower at Sankuyo Bush Camp.
Most clients come to love bucket showers as a simple amenity at a vintage safari camp that seems a natural part of being in the bush. The biggest issue for most people is that you need to request a staff member to come and fill the bucket and that is an inconvenience and sometimes limits when it is easy to get a shower.
Sankuyo Bush Camp has a solution to this and it is the first time I’ve seen this genius approach. At Sankuyo Bush Camp, clients can fill their own buckets anytime they want to by simply lowering the bucket and swiveling their sink faucet over the bucket (as shown above).
Solar Heating Mechanism at Sankuyo Bush Camp
Being a small eco-footprint camp hot water is provided by a solar heating system with pipes to all six tents. The set up is simple yet clever and elegant, and the end result is very enjoyable bucket showers in the open to the sky bathrooms enhancing your connection to being in the wild.
