For more than 20 years, the Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) has worked ceaselessly to protect the last free-ranging rhino population on Earth: the rare desert-adapted black rhino. In the remote, rugged Palmwag Concession, teams of local trackers use camel trains to help with the research and monitoring of this animal.
On this original and exciting Exploration, guests join the “ships of the desert” on a great adventure: an eight-day walk (little time is spent actually on the camels) deep into the heart of the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, where a camel train and a team of Save the Rhino trackers take us in search of this rare and endangered species. Guests thus gain access to some of the most remote and almost inaccessible regions of the Concession.
The revenues generated by this venture are directly channelled into the critically important conservation of the rhino population of the area.
This serviced camping safari offers a unique adventure for the traveller seeking an authentic African experience and a means to join skilled rhino trackers in their conservation, research and custodian work.
