Dear Esteemed Lodge Managers,

We are reaching out to inform you about a critical situation involving clients that were meant to travel in Namibia under the care of Rafiki Tours and Safaris. The clients, a family of seven with the surname Berkly, have confirmed a tour with us but have not commenced their travels as scheduled.

Key details are as follows:

Total Family Members: 7

Departure of 3 Members: From Walvis Bay back to the State
Continued Travel for 4 Members: Around Namibia until their departure on the 20th

Due to their failure to commence the tour, we have opened a case with the Police and Tourism Unit in Windhoek and the Coast to locate and ensure their safety.

Action Required:
Should these clients check in at any of your lodges, please notify Rafiki Tours and Safaris immediately. Your prompt cooperation is vital for the well-being of the clients and the coordination of their travel plans.

They traveling plan was Windhoek, Namib Desert, Swakopmund, Palmwag, Twyfelfontein and Omaruru before returning to WIndhoek.

Contact Information:

Announcement of the Passing of H.E Dr , President of the Republic of Namibia, 04 February 2024

Fellow Namibians,

It is with utmost sadness and regret that I inform you that our beloved Dr. Hage G. Geingob, the President of the Republic of Namibia has passed on today, Sunday 4 February 2024 at around 00h04 at Lady Pohamba Hospital where he was receiving medical treatment from his medical team. At his side, was his dear wife Madame Monica Geingos and his children.

His medical team, as I informed the nation only yesterday has been trying its utmost best to ensure that our President recovers. Regrettably,notwithstanding the team’s spirited effort to save his life, sadly, fellow Namibians, President Geingob passed on.

Fellow Namibians,

The Namibian nation has lost a distinguished servant of the people, a liberation struggle icon, the chief architect of our constitution and the pillar of the Namibian house. At this moment of deepest sorrow, I appeal to the nation to remain calm and collected while the Government attends to all necessary state arrangements, preparations and other protocols. Further announcements in this regard will be made.

While keeping the President’s bereaved family, and you, dear fellow Namibians, in our thoughts and prayers, Cabinet will convene with immediate effect in order to make the necessary state arrangements in this regard.

May the Soul of our beloved Dr Hage G. Geingob Rest in Eternal Peace.

H.E. DR NANGOLO MBUMBA
ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF NAMIBIA.

Today, 21st February, is the International Tourist Guide Day. In 1990, when it was held for the first time, fifteen countries participated.

Since then, tourist guides in an ever-growing number of countries have been giving help to their local communities, conducting tours for disabled people, disadvantaged people, for children, industry partners, officials, and the general public. They are the ones that spend the most time with tourists and are true ambassadors of the country.

The Day is coordinated by the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations. (WFTGA)
