Overview

80 years ago our grandparents from Scotland and Germany arrived in Southern Africa, and the journey of caring tourism was birthed. We are now the third generation involved in conservation and tourism at the 4 and 5 star level. We cater for: a) Special needs travelers with mobility, neurological or health issues b) Special religious requirements for the Orthodox Kosher traveller c) Full service safaris for the 4 and 5 star traveller, with an impeccable record in hosting heads of state, A list actors, members of the House of Lords, film directors and leaders in the philanthropic world. We focus on 9 nations in the Southern and East African regions with our forefathers, and our current leaders, having rolled up their sleeves to build lodges, take down old cattle fences, set up conservation and management structures in many areas that have been reclaimed from bad land management practices or poaching issues, and restored migration corridors along rivers and formerly neglected eco systems. Paired with the most amazing team who work as travel consultants, but also travel to train and upskill staff in specialised food production, such as Kosher, or to capture stories on film, and auction off safaris to the highest bidders at events across the world to empower a local grassroots charity. Our roots go deep, and our innovation in terms of one stop, full service touring packages on this continent, is well known amoungst many of our faithful followers across the full spectrum of first world nations, who choose us above many of our competitors, because of the deeply authentic style of service and care we take to ensure each safari or journey is refined and well executed.

Holding onto Hope

Website http://holding-onto-hope.org/

Our team have extensive experience in Africa, working in deep rural areas and highly urbanized areas, as far and wide as Madagascar, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia. Each of the team members have worked inside the operational side of voluntary interventions across a wide spectrum of needs, from disaster relief, to business and financial literacy training for breadwinners, and specialized educational and medical interventions to assist the poor and marginalized communities on this continent, to overcome hurdles of poverty, disease and lack of education. We have trained and empowered locals with educational shortfalls in villages and communities.

Other interventions include Micro agri- and entrepreneurial training, and helping families to recognize their need for further life skills.

All of us, have been able to identify gaps in social structures, or household food security, due to immense poverty, or issues relating to the disintegrating fabric of communities impacted by crime, substance abuse or neglect.

Digging deeper into these issues, we see single parent households, special needs children, wellness and mental wellness and self care that is out of the reach of the majority of the poverty affected populations.
