INTRODUCTION :

We have secured the services of some internationally acclaimed specialists to give you an insight into their worlds.  Like all our products, these are not just holiday tours, but an in-depth experience with knowledgeable conservationists who make a difference.  These safaris are authentic.  You will join these experts in the day-to-day running of their projects.  The nature of this experience and real hands on involvement does not allow for the provision of a fixed overnight point-to-point itinerary.  It is the environment, indigenous people, wildlife and these experts that will determine our optimum movements.  These are short, intense and often life-changing experiences.  Our back-up crew will erect our tented camp and look after your personal comforts ensuring you spend maximum time with your guide and expert.

We meet at Wereldsend late afternoon or evening of Day 0. The next morning we set off to rendezvous afternoon/early evening with our specialist. Our route will depend on such factors as where the specialist is currently working, where the people and wildlife are, where there has been rain... Generally this will take us past the game rich Concession area with it’s spectacular scenery.

 

THE DESERT ELEPHANT SAFARI

Dr Keith Leggett has accepted a position at a research institute in Australia.  However we are fortunate enough to have secured his services to guide us on two desert elephant safaris.

The Namibian Desert Dwelling Elephant Project has been underway for 8 years and focuses on the collecting and sharing of identification and monitoring data.  The primary aim is to improve the understanding of elephants in general in the target area and to include this information into programmes for elephant management.

This fascinating safari centres round the wild arid western parts of the Hoarusib and Hoanib catchments.  The very fact that elephants live and thrive in this extreme environment is a miracle.  Join Dr Keith Leggett and the KCS team and delve into the mysterious realm of deserts and elephants. The people living in these areas have not been spared the contact with these mighty behemoths.  Learn what it is to live with elephants and the compromises required to ensure the future of these unique desert animals.
