Ultimate Safaris and the Conservation Travel Foundation raise USD $450,000 to preserve and protect the Namibian wilderness
Enriching journeys and enriching lives are the twin strands at the core of Ultimate Safaris’ ethos. In partnership with its Conservation Travel Foundation, Ultimate Safaris is dedicated to helping protect and conserve the fragile wilderness areas of Namibia and enhance the well-being of the people who live there. Over the past year, the sustainable safari company has raised USD $450,000 (£355,000), or NAD 8.5 million, for conservation and rural development initiatives.
Ultimate Safaris is continuing with its pledge to ensure that the equivalent of at least 2% of its commercial revenue is raised and invested in conservation and rural development through the foundation. The Conservation Travel Foundation was founded in 2006 by Tristan Cowley, a co-founder of Ultimate Safaris, with the objective of bringing about tangible, positive impacts on ecosystem conservation and on the development of rural communities in Namibia.
Ultimate Safaris is a significant contributor to the foundation in both finance and administration. Safari guests, friends, and partners of the company are invited to make contributions to the foundation and its projects. All participants receive a Conservation Travel Foundation information booklet and a donation form in the travel documentation they receive on arrival for their safari.
