Accommodation

The new Ulovane Camp was completed in March 2009; we are very proud of our training facility and believe it is one of the TOP training facilities in South Africa. Our lecture room includes a large work station, desks and chairs as well as two white boards and data projector. We believe that if our students are comfortable and have all they need, it will ENHANCE their learning experience. The accommodation is shared with two students per room; the rooms have en suite bathrooms and are equipped with furniture, electricity and linen. Our stunning rock face rooms have a great view of Amakhala. They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer – a great place for studying.

Our Camp is Green

Like our logo, like the bush – the Ulovane camp is GREEN! How have we achieved this and how are we achieving this – we run completely off solar power, we recycle every bit of waste at the camp, all our geysers are solar operated. Energy supply is fully serviced by solar panels that feed in a battery bank and in that way guaranteeing a constant supply of energy to run all the appliances, such as a deep freezer, fridge, washing machine, as well as all the energy for the data projector, various computers and of course all the cell phone chargers, and all the lights.

We not only preach the concept of energy saving and zero emission, but we truly live it and make everyone aware that we have to change our lifestyle to save our beautiful planet.
