Sankuyo Bush Camp's Innovative Bucket Shower

Thursday, 11 February 2010 10:31 by BillGiven

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.

Sankuyo Bush Camp Bucket Shower

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).

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.

Hot water is always an issue in the bush, and there is absolutely nothing to compare to a hot shower after a day of sweating it out in the bush. I like the innovative approach to the bucket shower, and am impressed with the solar geyser setup that Sankuyo Bush Camp has installed for the benefit of visitors. The evacuated pipe setup is by far the most efficient solar geyser system available, and it is being put to good work here.

I do have one question though. Is a gravity feed system in place here, or are they using a booster pump? I'm used to seeing these geysers installed at quite a height to give adequate water pressure, and seeing it installed on the ground in this manner came as a bit of a surprise to me.
