Horst speaks perfect German, English and Afrikaans. His knowledge of the land, its flora, fauna and especially birdlife is extensive and he also has comprehensive training in first-aid.
After working for more than 15 years in public relations and corporate communications, Felizitas has made her love of Africa her job.

Different vehicles are hired for different tours depending upon the circumstances and requirements of the tour. Our partners are competent vehicle rental centres and outfitters, and the vehicles are regularly checked and comprehensively insured. GPS and satellite telephone are standard equipment for tours in remote areas.
We love our land, its unique natural environment, as well as the people and the flora and fauna that live in it. We favour sensitive tourism that allows visitors to visit remote areas without damaging the fragile ecology of the land. We take care to leave the natural environment as we find it — our tracks and footprints are only momentary marks on the surface of the land. Last but not least, Namibia is a developing African nation. Visitors will not only be able to admire its beauty but also learn a little more behind-the-scenes knowledge of Namibia.
