SAVE THE RHINO WALKING SAFARI
SAFE THE RHINO WALKING SAFARI
Save the Rhino Walking Safari
Conservation is ingrained in Namibia and this safari gives you the chance to track one of the most endangered African Mammal species, get involved with the conservation efforts and witness the country’s innovative conservation measures first hand. You will be walking in an area where other tourists don’t get to go and the only people operating here are the Save the Rhino Team scouts patrolling.
In Namibia’s far northwest Kunene region (also known as Kaokoland) Black Rhinos were almost extinct thirty years ago. Today, Kunene has the largest number of free-roaming Black Rhino in the world – the only Rhino worldwide living on communally and traditionally-owned land without formal conservation status. Namibia created a culture of good human-wildlife interactions by involving communities, employing locals in anti-poaching patrols and generating income from Rhino-related tourism.
The exclusive guided walking safari takes place once a year only and we will be walking in an area where other tourists don’t get to go and the only people operating here are the Save the Rhino Team scouts patrolling.
The itinerary and the exact route will be flexible as we will be tracking the Desert adapted wildlife that roam in this area and the distance covered each day will depend on the fitness of the group. We will be walking and tracking every morning breaking for brunch or lunch and after a siesta period we will be driving in the open 4×4 safari vehicles in the afternoon looking for wildlife and enjoying the spectacular scenery.
The Damaraland area of Namibia is arguably one of the most scenic places in Africa and one of the few places where there are areas where people have not been to or developed and wildlife still roam freely outside of National Parks.
We have a full back up team that will take care of our camping needs (setting and breaking of camp, cooking etc) so you just have to bring yourself and your personal belongings to Namibia. The group size will be limited to six people to ensure an exclusive experience and a better chance of getting close to the wildlife.
Some of the wildlife that we hope to see are the desert adapted Black Rhino, Elephant, Giraffe, Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, Springbok, Kudu, Oryx and hopefully some of the predators that roam this spectacular area – Cheetah, the famous Desert Adapted Lions, Leopard, Jackal, Spotted and Brown Hyena.
Come on an exclusive and exciting safari adventure with us and support important wildlife conservation!
