My name is Anastasiia Dolgodush (my nickname is LuNa Nico), I am co-founder and director of Luna's Wild Rides, and I am from Ukraine. For more than 2 weeks our country is suffering from the unprovoked brutal aggression from russia which led to the many casualties of civilians. Millions of our citizens had to leave their houses, including my daughter and myself.
I am still passionate about my work. Favourite work helps to deal with trembling hands and high pulse rate, newly-appeared symptoms due to harsh reality happening in our land.
Our tour operator company in Tanzania Luna's Wild Rides is still running, all tourism attractions are open throught the year: safari parks, Kilimanjaro and other mountains, Zanzibar and other beach destinations. Apart of Tanzania, we also invite you to other Eastern and Southern Africa countries: Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC. Our manager, driver guides and mountain guides are always there stand-by and eager to accept any guests in East Africa.
We lost our market to this unfair, shameful war, so disgracefully started by russia. There are no more travellers from Ukraine - people are just praying to survive, people don't know their tomorrow! And no more clients from Russia for us: we will not be able to serve russian passport holders anymore!
So our only hope for survival is international guests: you, reading this, and all your friends and connections whom I ASK YOU TO SHARE THIS POST with. If anyone has ever dreamt about a trip to Africa, it’s time to make it a decision. By travelling with us now,
💙💛 YOU WILL HELP UKRAINE TO WITHSTAND THIS HORRIBLE VIOLENCE 💙💛 How?
Any our company's profit from now will be utilized for only two purposes:
1) profits will be forwarded to Ukrainian volunteer headquarters account and Ukrainian army
2) we need to sustain my family (my parents and sister who remained in our hometown Sumy and fully dedicated themselves volunteering - they spend days and nights in humanitarian headquarters, ensuring supplies for the Warriors and for civilians who are now badly in need).
If you plan to travel later (even much later than now), but still want to join our initiative to support Ukraine, you can book your trip with us for 10% of the total cost and get our official travel voucher without time limit. I, being the director of Luna's Wild Rides, personally take the responsibility to ensure designated use of funds as mentioned above, and will gladly provide you with the corresponding receipts.
Do your part to join the forces against violence! For us, this is not about business anymore. From now SURVIVAL for the sake of our common VICTORY is at stake.
Sincerely yours,
Anastasiia Dolgodush
Co-founder & Director of Luna's Wild Rides
