Infrastructure Development
We identify opportunities, evaluate site economics, structure commercial agreements and oversee deployment — from feasibility through to commissioning.
Conservation Infrastructure Partners (CIP) develops, finances, deploys and operates water infrastructure across safari lodges, coastal resorts and conservation landscapes.
Our focus is simple: reduce dependence on bottled-water logistics, trucked water and diesel-intensive supply chains by creating resilient, on-site water infrastructure.
Developed, financed and operated by CIP.
Rising water costs, sustainability requirements and supply-chain risks are driving a shift from delivered water to on-site infrastructure.
We identify opportunities, evaluate site economics, structure commercial agreements and oversee deployment — from feasibility through to commissioning.
CIP operates as a long-term infrastructure partner rather than an equipment vendor. We provide remote monitoring, maintenance coordination, performance reporting and ongoing optimisation across deployed assets.
Where appropriate, CIP structures deployments as a service agreement rather than a capital purchase. This allows operators to access new water infrastructure without significant upfront investment, while aligning payments with long-term performance.
CIP works with established technology manufacturers and on-the-ground operating partners to deliver and maintain infrastructure in remote environments, combining proven systems with reliable local execution.
We develop, finance, own and operate assets — not sell equipment. Our incentives are aligned with long-term performance.
We understand the operational and commercial realities of luxury lodges and resorts, and build infrastructure around them.
Deep regional networks and on-the-ground delivery capability across Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Experience spanning Barings, Macquarie and Citigroup, with a focus on infrastructure, energy, natural resources and emerging markets.
CIP is currently focused on safari lodges, coastal resorts and remote hospitality assets across Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, where water logistics, operating costs and sustainability requirements increasingly favour permanent infrastructure solutions.
