Conservation Travel Foundation by Ultimate Safaris
Conservation Travel Foundation (established by Ultimate Safaris Namibia, a Conservation Travel company, in 2006) focuses on forming and strengthening links between responsible Conservation Travel and Namibia’s cultural and natural heritage stakeholders. Through its support from Ultimate Safaris and other partners, the Foundation enriches lives by creating viable economic development for rural communities through Conservation Travel, which in turn supports sizable conservation efforts. The objective of the Foundation is to pool unconditional micro donations in order to bring about unconditional macro impact. Structures are non-bureaucratic, speedy and efficient, and 100% of all proceeds raised are directly invested into worthy projects, whilst all running costs of the Foundation are covered by Ultimate Safaris. The Foundation provides an alternative to the unintentionally exploitative and occasionally destructive elements of conventional tourism and our hope is to lead the way in conservation, philanthropy and enriching lives within Namibia.
