Travel in 2021 - Wilderness

Community Water Access and Elephant-Human Relations in Namibia

Damaraland, a vast, scarcely populated communal trust, has become a natural, unfenced refuge for desert-adapted animals such as black rhino, oryx, giraffe, springbuck, kudu, steenbok, baboon, lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena, brown hyena, black backed jackal – and elephants! This area is still regarded as one of the last true wildernesses left on earth. (And hey, that sounds low-risk in terms of Covid-19 exposure to us!)

Camp under the stars, learn how to track elephant herds, monitor individuals’ overall health, record life events – and so much more. Learn about the stability of the ecosystem and why these desert elephants react the way they do to water!

Ready to adventure into the wilderness and get to know elephants on another level?
