 IN COLLABORATION WITH

Elephants Alive is an established NPO located close to Hoedspruit SA and have been monitoring elephant ecology in the region for 18 years. They continue to break ground in promoting and developing a harmonious existence between elephants and people.

Rhino Safaris is owned by long-time colleague Rhino Grohmann. Specialising in German speaking tours and safaris, Rhino continues to deliver meaningful and masterfully hosted safaris. Rhino has teamed up with AMS to support elephant conservation with ELEPHANTS ALIVE by pledging a percentage of safari costs for safaris to Timbavati and Klaserie.

AMS has been using Umlani as a Timbavati safari base for over 20 years. Owned by the Schiess Family, Umlani has clung onto its authenticity and philosophy, and continues to offer meaningful safari encounters, minus the bling!

Footsteps in a long- standing operation/booking office for Oddballs and Delta Camps, bases for our Okavango Delta wilderness trails.
