Our Purpose in Offering These Safaris

EcoVitality is a non-profit, tax-exempt environmental NGO set up to protect ecosystems and wildlife in rural areas of poor countries, where most of Earth's biodiversity is located. Because conventional conservation strategies have failed, we're using a new economic -incentives approach that helps the people in poor rural areas get what they want most, better economic welfare, in return for their helping us attain what we want, better nature conservation progress.

In applying this incentives-based approach, we are offering superb wildlife safaris and then using the profits from these safaris to fund lion conservation by supporting the Afri-Leo Foundation of Namibia. These safaris are operated through our partnership with Honeyguide Safaris, a professional tour-guide company run by Hobby Kreiner, one of Namibia's leading guides and leading environmentalists.

Petroglyphs at Tywfelfontein

"The animal spotting was incredible! Not only did we see all the major species, but many times we caught them in [unusual] circumstances more likely to be seen on National Geographic than on the average safari."

These are "CLIENT CHOICE" safaris, which means clients can choose any 14-day period from June to Mid-October. We must reserve the right to cancel or reschedule these safaris in the unlikely event that we cannot pull together the professional guides, transportation, and accommodations needed to run the requested "client choice" safari according to EcoVitality's high standards. We will keep the clients informed while putting together these tour requirements and we will refund any deposits if a "client choice" safari cannot be scheduled on dates agreed to by the clients.

Required Deposit:
A deposit of $1000 is due upon booking, and the balance of the tour price will be due ninety (90) days before the beginning of the applicable tour. We cannot hold places on any safari without the appropriate deposit. The booking-deposit cancellation fees are described on our Terms & Conditions web page.

Epupa Falls

"This was the best trip I have ever taken in more than 20 years of travel. The excitement and energy from constant discovery made it exotic, while the structure made it comfortable. Every day offered something new to challenge my biases and preconceptions. After 2 weeks of ever changing variety and depth of experiences, I am more awestruck than ever about the beautiful, fragile complexity of life on earth." John H.
