Why Namibia?

Namibia is a country in Southern Africa on the Atlantic coast. It is dominated by savanna and desert biomes, which support a large array of wildlife. Namibia is home to more wild cheetahs and black rhinos than any other country in the world, as well as plenty of lions, leopards, hyenas, giraffe, white rhinos, elephants, zebra, hippos, more than twenty species of antelope. Namibia has a strong culture and history of conservation, and was even the first African country to include the protection of wildlife and biodiversity in it's constitution. It's the perfect place to conduct high-tech research aiming to protect some of the most critically endangered mammal species in the world. It's also a safe and very politically stable country.

Our program stays at the N/a'an ku sê Wildlife Sanctuary just outside of the capital city, Windhoek. This reserve is focused on evidence-based and researched conservation efforts, sustainable and mutually beneficial ecotourism, and humanitarianism aimed at the vulnerable San people who are descendants of the first human inhabitants of the region, and one of the oldest surviving cultures on the planet. The N/a'an ku sê foundation manages a collection of more than 6 separate properties across the country all dedicated to the same mission of "Conservation through Innovation"
