Conservation

Safarihoek’s parent company, Natural Selection (NS), has put their efforts into safeguarding the rhino in Etosha’s future. Within the reserve, NS have an anti-poaching team dedicated to protecting the rhinos and preventing any illegal hunting along the boundaries of the reserve.

Community

Natural Selection were part of a communal herding initiative that protected cattle from desert lions during the dry months in 2021. Food parcels were provided every month to 4 communal herders. In addition, there was an initiative to buy the last few cattle remaining after the drought and donate the meat back to affected communities (the motivation being that less cattle will reduce grazing pressure and human-wildlife conflict in the process).

Conservation

In certain areas there might seem to be plenty of them, but giraffes across Africa are under threat, and together with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, NS are creating a strong presence in northwest Namibia to further their understanding of this Angolan sub-species and create awareness of the plight of these stately and beautiful creatures.
