Kamu Lodge - Eco-tourism

Well described as Eco –tourism at its best, the Kamu Lodge is the very embodiment of a sustainable property. Striving to immerse guests in local culture while simultaneously giving back to the community, this forward thinking property redefines the idea of ‘luxury'. Built around the philosophy that contact with nature is an essential component for relieving stress, guests are invited to take a step back and appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

Juts three hours upstream from Luang Prabang, the Kamu Lodge consist of canvas tented-style accommodation imported from South Africa. Each of the 20 comfortable tents features comfy beds, solar-powered hot water, electricity, and private bathrooms. Private balconies overlooking the Mekong make for perfect relaxation spot to ponder the significance of this might river.

Northern Laos, like most of the country is seemingly untouched by the modern world. Pristine jungle, soaring mountains and sleepy rice paddies dominate. Inhabited by a number of ethnic minorities the identity of the Kamu Lodge was inspired by the indigenous ‘Kamu hilltribe'. An essential part of the Kamu experience is for visitors to learn more about the fascinating culture and rich traditions of these people. Guests are invited to try their hand at traditional fishing, rice farming, weaving and even panning for gold in the silt of the Mekong.

Kamu Lodge incorporates the area's beautiful natural surroundings into its restaurant by creating meals from fresh local ingredients and serving them in an outdoor setting. Meals are served in raised thatched enclosures amidst the paddies, on floor mats and cushions gathered at low tables laid with banana leaves. Built entirely of natural and locally sourced materials, enjoying a meal at Kamu Lodge is in itself worth the trip up stream.

Two of the world's top-three hotels accommodate guests in safari tents... just like Kamu Lodge. Our 20 free-standing lodges are hybrids actually. Thick-walled tents shut out the elements while a sturdy thatch roof guards against rain and sun.   However rustic the look and feel, Kamu's mattresses guarantee a good night's sleep. In the spirit of sustainable lodging, solar panels fixed to the roofs gather just enough juice to keep your fan turning all night and your interior lit. Every lodge features a white-washed stone annex, and the familiar trappings of a traditional bath. Hot water flows from Kamu's shower heads. And there's ample space to maneuver about as you make your daily ablutions. On the apron of every lodge, a thatch-covered veranda and its rustic easy chairs encourage passive enjoyment of a timeless view over the slow-moving Mekong.
