Pack For Conservation By Ultimate Safaris Namibia
By Birgit Mohrmann, Ultimate Safaris NamibiaThe perfect solution to that FAQ on what guests should bring along on a Namibian safari as gifts!
Ultimate Safaris and the Conservation Travel Foundation have partnered with a Namibian owned outdoor retailer with a significant online presence and a staunch supporter of Namibian conservation efforts, and created an online portal where guests which are imminently travelling to Namibia with Ultimate Safaris, can purchase much needed field uniforms and gear on a cost recovery basis. Various options in terms of packages are available, and once an order has been placed and paid for online, the respective package is prepared and delivered to the Conservation Travel Foundation in Windhoek in time for guest arrivals. The CTF will then facilitate the official handover of the uniforms and gear to SRT (ideally in your presence if this can be made to fit with your safari plans). Our hope is that this active and regular guest participation in the acquisition of these uniforms and gear will make this replacement and the continuing growth of the programme sustainable. There is also an additional benefit to this programme in that all uniforms and gear are purchased locally, contributing further towards the local economy.
The Conservation Travel Foundation (CTF) was established in 2006, and it is our philanthropic branch of Ultimate Safaris.
