This tour, surprisingly enough, is all about the Cheetah population of Namibia. We visit two different Cheetah reserves run by responsible organisations, whom we support by spreading interest through our passengers.
We visit Otjitotongwe Cheetah Reserve, who are trying to save the cheetahs in a country where they are not protected outside national parks. By paying our national park fees, we are contributing towards the conservation of all wildlife.
On our visit to the Cheetah Conservation fund, we learn all about the fastest land animal on earth and have a chance to contribute to the fund. To give as much as we can to the local economy, we stay in rest camps, whose profits go into the preservation and running of the national parks, or to local families.
Our Tour Leaders are all trained by us in the importance of responsible tourism with guidance given on how they can make a difference. This then percolates down through those they deal with.
As well as the above, we support a variety of charities and projects worldwide which support vulnerable communities and habitats including Friends of Conservation, Hope Worldwide and Send A Cow. We are also actively engaged with UK travel industry bodies which promote best practice in responsible tourism, such as Tourism Concern, The Travel Foundation and AITO. Our commitment to responsible tourism is not limited to our overseas operation and we have measures to ensure our UK office operates according to our responsible tourism policy. Carbon offsets for all flights booked with us are included in the tour cost.
This small group operator is just celebrating its 30th year and was originally set up to enrich people’s lives through adventure travel. They find the family travel experience is very popular and groups gel together quickly. Taking your children to local communities creates an instant fascination and can be a natural ice-breaker. Family adventure holidays can offer an opportunity to learn about other lifestyles and break down barriers. There is great advantage to spending time together, doing things you would never normally consider, as opposed to taking a package holiday where your children are separated and sent off to their own area.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
