Onduli ENCLAVE, and we're officially open! More details to follow on Monday, but we couldn't be more excited. Two years of planning and a year of building, and we've hopefully created Namibia's most impactful private retreat, and something which moves Namibia ahead in terms of this level of sustainable luxury tourism.
Created, developed and built all in-house, our tribe has outdone itself! It's been worth the effort and wait!
For more detail visit https://ultimatesafaris.na/our-camps/private-retreats/onduli-enclave and keep an eye out for the official launch on Monday afternoon coming to your inboxes.

ULTIMATE SAFARIS 15 YEARS! HERE's OUR TAKE ON IT!
This year marks our 15 year anniversary and in May this year we gathered our tribe, suppliers, buyers, conservation partners and other partners at an amazing gathering in Windhoek to celebrate!
15 years marks an incredible milestone, and as we pay tribute to the incredible support afforded by our tribe and partners, we reflect on the achievements of the last 15 years, that for many would constitute more than a lifetime.
Another incredible year has passed, two new lodge/camp openings and no less than 5 different IT system changes and integration, and plans for 2024 to be our biggest yet, and expanding our footrint into the world!
Thank you to Conservation Film Foundation for the continuous support and putting this together for us, a reflection of the last 15 years!
Here's to the next....

Today is World Rhino Day and we want to pay tribute to these incredible animals and the work we support to conserve them via our own Conservation Travel Foundation!
This week we already spoke about Rhino Rangers! They have dedicated their working lives to the protection of the rhino, spending the majority of their time in the field, covering large distances on foot and being exposed to the harsh elements of a desert environment. However, Rhino Rangers need to be equipped with field uniforms and gear, and those need replacement on an annual basis given the demands of the environment and the frequency of use.
Thank you in advance for your support. Even if only a relatively small proportion of the guests travelling to Namibia take part in this programme, actively contributing towards conservation in Namibia, this will help make the whole Rhino Ranger project far more sustainable.

Camp Sossus is a semi-permanent tented camp offering an outstanding desert retreat for adventurous campers. It provides a unique Namibian experience, and the chance to enjoy the Greater Sossusvlei-Namib!
The eight tents sit in a naturally formed amphitheatre in a granite outcrop in the heart of the region, perfectly sheltered from the desert winds, and nearly invisible in the beautiful landscape. 🧡

With support from the Giraffe Conservation Foundation and our own Conservation Travel Foundation, we were recently able to satellite tag two more giraffe in the Onduli Ridge area to build on the monitoring and research efforts in the area! New tags have been developed which are attached to the tail, which are proving longer lasting than those on the ossicones/horns, and now males can be tagged too where on the ossicones this wasn’t possible on account of male fighting which would damage these.
Be sure to partake in our Giraffe Conservation Activity when at #onduliridge to learn about our conservation efforts of the Angolan giraffe.

In the build-up to #worldlionday2022 we previously highlighted our support for crucial lion conservation work being done in Namibia. On the 3 August we gave insight into the extremely successful early warning system and here is some footage of the process that does into collaring a lion.

World Lion Day
#worldlionday2022 recognized these iconic animals which are crucial to ecosystem biodiversity. Namibia has a truly unique population of lions, which occurs in the desert and in an area that is not a national park, making their survival even more impressive. These lions have become iconic and there is a constant balancing act to ensure man, livestock and lions can co-inhabit this harsh environment.

World Lion Day
Continuing with our build up to #worldlionday2022, we are looking forward to celebrating these iconic animals that form such an important part of ecosystems across Africa!
Through our own Conservation Travel Foundation, we are proud founding members of Lionscape Coalition, a tourism led coalition working with the Lion Recovery Fund to support lion conservation across Africa. In a mere 5 years the Lion Recovery Fund has invested over US$ 26 million into 23 African countries and into 201 lion conservation projects. This is an incredible achievement!
