We Are...

The Conservation Travel Foundation is primarily a travel-funded Namibian Non-Profit Organisation (T153/06), dedicated to help with the protection and conservation of the spectacular, but delicate, wilderness areas of Namibia, and to the well-being of the indigenous peoples whose homes they are.

Enriching Lives

The Conservation Travel Foundation operates largely in pristine wilderness areas, and believes that the future of these environments, and their natural inhabitants, lies in the hands of the indigenous Namibian communities living there. In essence, local people must be involved directly in the custodianship of their land and its natural resources. This central objective of the Foundation is supported by Ultimate Safaris which provides pro bono administrative and logistical support to the Foundation.

What our Partners have to say

As a safari operator we wanted to enrich the lives of the communities and to enhance the areas that we visit, as well as the lives of the guests that travel with us. The creation of the Conservation Travel Foundation, a non-profit organization, where all funding generated goes directly to the projects we support, has allowed us to achieve this in the most transparent way. It is a step we hope many other organizations will emulate.

Tristan Cowley (Managing Director, Ultimate Safaris)

The Conservation Travel Foundation is a vehicle to allow Ultimate Safaris and its guests to improve the lives of the people and communities in the areas that we operate in. The joint efforts of all the supporters of the Foundation can make a large scale difference and help to ensure the long term preservation of our natural resources.

Jason Nott (Coordinator, Conservation Travel Foundation)

With the support from Ultimate Safaris through the Conservation Travel Foundation, we have been able to enrich the lives of the children at the school that we work at. We have formed a great relationship with Ultimate Safaris and are very grateful for the support they have given us over the years. The good work that they do has motivated us, as teachers, to make sure all our children succeed at school.

Tommy Haxabeb (Vice-Principal, Grootberg Primary School)

Thank you for all the effort and support to the project, it is highly appreciated and will aid substantially in the conservation of the Desert Lions.

Dr. Flip Stander (Desert Lion Project)

I have just lost my breath and broken into tears; your faith in us renders me speechless. Please thank your entire team for me for the donation made towards the Vulture Crisis.

Maria Diekmann (Rare and Endangered Species Foundation)

Thank you very much for your assistance; it was a great aid to have your quick response in our time of need. It will contribute greatly to our running costs.

Jeff Muntefering (Save the Rhino Foundation)

The Conservation Travel Foundation has proved to be a very effective mechanism for providing timely assistance to a variety of conservation and rural development projects. The ability to amass resources and target support has allowed us to have far greater impact than we would have done with a number of more widely spread and less well focused activities.
