AS NAMIBIA reopens its borders to international travellers, Wilderness Safaris, Africa’s leading sustainable ecotourism operator, is welcoming guests back to its exceptional selection of remote camps. These include the new Little Kulala, as well as Doro Nawas and Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp.

Wilderness Safaris, which has been dedicated to conserving Africa’s wilderness through positive action since 1983, will ensure that guests are taken care of every step of the way, accommodating a small number of guests at each camp and ensuring comfortable social distancing.

“We believe that the wide-open spaces and awe-inspiring landscapes of Namibia make this the perfect destination for those seeking the inspiration and healing power of nature during this time,” says Wilderness Safaris Namibia MD, Alexandra Margull. “Our luxury camps are small and exclusive, set within large, pristine wilderness areas, and offer our guests the opportunity to reconnect with the natural world, themselves and their families. We are particularly excited about the rejuvenated Little Kulala, which will offer a superlative holistic health and wellness experience.”

The vast assortment of fun-filled activities on offer range from adventurous e-biking and climbing the iconic Sossusvlei dunes, to discovering rare desert-adapted wildlife on game drives along the Skeleton Coast. “It is exciting to be resuming operations, not only for our staff to host guests again but also for our neighbouring communities, who largely rely on the tourism industry,” adds Margull. “We are so grateful for the assistance from our Chairman’s Foundation who have helped us to distribute food hampers to five conservancies recently which have helped hundreds of vulnerable families meet their basic food and hygiene needs during this time.”

Hosting guests once again will allow Wilderness Safaris to continue its community support, as well as its conservation and human-wildlife conflict mitigation efforts in north-west Namibia, both of which have been a major focus for the company during the pandemic.

“We understand that some guests may feel apprehensive about travel right now, but we have taken great care to enhance all of our health and cleanliness standards, in line with the World Health Organisation’s protocols,” points out Margull. “This situation has also given us a renewed appreciation of the impact ecotourism has on the lives of so many people, and we certainly look forward to creating life-changing journeys once again – journeys that enable us to continue making a positive difference.”
