Powering Water Supply in the Heart of Serengeti

Sanson Energy Limited successfully designed and installed a 7.5 kW solar-powered water pumping system at Ikoma, Serengeti, providing a reliable renewable-energy solution for water supply to the camp.

The system was designed to pump water from a borehole to the camp over approximately 3 kilometres, supporting the water requirements of a remote tourism operation.

The project demonstrates how solar energy can provide a reliable and sustainable alternative for water pumping in remote locations where access to reliable grid electricity can be limited.

The Challenge

Operating a tourism facility in a remote environment requires a dependable water supply for daily operations and guest services.

The water source was located approximately 3 kilometres from the camp, creating the need for a reliable pumping solution capable of moving water efficiently over the required distance.

For a remote safari operation, dependence on conventional power sources can also increase operating costs and create challenges where grid electricity is unavailable or unreliable.


Our Solar Water Pumping Solution

Sanson Energy Limited designed and installed a 7.5 kW solar water pumping system to provide a renewable and reliable source of energy for the water pumping operation.

The system utilizes solar energy to power the water pump, allowing water to be transferred from the borehole to the camp without relying entirely on conventional electricity sources.

Key System Features

7.5 kW Solar Water Pumping System

Borehole-to-Camp Water Supply

Approximately 3 km Water Delivery Distance

More Than 12,000 Litres of Water Supplied Per Day

Solar-Powered Operation


Engineering & System Design

The system was designed around the specific requirements of the site, including the water source, pumping distance and required daily water supply.

Sanson Energy considered the operational requirements of the camp when selecting and configuring the solar water pumping solution.

The result is a solar-powered water supply system designed to support reliable water availability while reducing dependence on conventional energy sources.


Project Benefits

Renewable Energy

The pumping system uses solar energy as its primary power source, reducing dependence on conventional electricity for water pumping.

Reliable Water Supply

The system supplies more than 12,000 litres of water per day, supporting the camp’s daily water requirements.

Long-Distance Water Delivery

The system transfers water from the borehole to the camp over approximately 3 kilometres.

Reduced Energy Dependence

Solar-powered pumping can reduce reliance on grid electricity or diesel-powered pumping, particularly in remote locations.

Designed for Remote Tourism

The solution is suitable for remote safari camps and tourism facilities where reliable water supply is essential.
