In line with our strong stance on responsible tourism, all guides on this trip are local Namibians, picked for their excellent indigenous knowledge of the area and high degree of training. Their understanding of the country’s flora, fauna and local culture will ensure a true insight into Namibian life.
Throughout the trip you will stay at community run campsites and visit community initiatives at various local sights. Spend a night by a kraal in Ovamboland and spend some time mucking in with the villagers daily chores. As well as getting a hands-on experience your visit there generates money for the community. The safari operator also supports the community in many other ways such as supplies for the local school which they otherwise wouldn’t have.
You will also experience a taste of the nomadic Himba people in Damaraland, where a local farmer and village chief have formed a unique partnership which allows visitors to discover this intriguing culture in a sensitive and responsible manner.
The trip also supports the Ombili Bushman Project and the newly established Treesleeper Camp. As well as learning about the bushmen’s history and traditions your visit here helps these projects create responsible and happy way for these communities to adapt to the 21st Century.
In the 1980s the director of this company, Chris, volunteered at a rural bush school in Zimbabwe, teaching A level Maths for 3 years. Whilst there, he realised there wasn’t a decent guidebook for the area and so he successfully secured a contract to write one himself, including Namibia and Botswana. Chris now owns an African tour company that makes use of his extensive knowledge and passion for the area. He insists that all staff visit the places they sell every year so they know exactly what they’re talking about and can supply travellers with all of the options available to them.
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!
