'''BE WISE WITH WATER! & RESPONSIBLE TOURISM'''
As Ranohira lies in a semi dessert area, ITC lodge chooses not to have a swimming pool. There is hardly sufficient clean (drinking) water available for the local population and the hotel management finds it therefore not correct to "reserve" hundreds of thousands of liters of water (10m x5m x2m = 100.000 liters) in swimming pools in the various hotels , while to the local population suffers. Especcially since tourist high season is in the dry season and which also happens to be wintertime , so water is rare and the water in the unheated swimming pools is fairly cold and hardly used usable for swimming. If you want to freshen up after your hike, take a quick shower instead. ITC Lodge has its own watersource and any excess of water is made available for the needs of the local population.
ITC Lodge's management is member of and closely cooperates with the associations; "Soa Zara" and "le Village".
