  Singita Mara River Camp is entirely solar powered, down to the hot water heaters, laundry machines, and even hair dryers that run on rechargeable solar powered batteries. Round-the-clock power for lamps and outlets (and Wi-Fi, too) is provided by a custom-designed array of photovoltaic panels covering three-quarters of an acre; the device efficiently converts sunlight to electricity even on cloudy days.

"We are concentrating an area of light that is about a 10-foot by 10-foot area into a 6 centimeter diameter circle.
