Complete List of Eco-Safaris

 Ecovitality is a non-profit environmental group and its safari profits go directly to fund African wildlife conservation

"Namibia was an excellent country for an initial visit to Africa, with enough varied topography and animals that you could easily come back many times before absorbing
it all."
   Kathleen P.
 

"Staying at Kavita was not only a lovely and relaxing experience, but I think it is important for visitors, who have come because of their fascination with African wildlife, to see what concerned, dedicated Namibians are doing to improve wildlife conservation in their country."
   Harriette F.

The trip was organized in detail focusing on guest comfort. The guides were social, informative, and attentive. Food was the best available, whether local and traditional, or prepared to order. Eating under all the conditions was fun and an important part of the experience.

Johannesburg International Airport Holiday Inn:

The hotel is located just a 3-minute courtesy van ride from the Johannesburg International airport terminal and provides high-quality accommodations and friendly service.  This is a modern hotel with all the major conveniences including concierge services, restaurant, bar, gift shop,  news stand, and indoors pool.  The Guest Assistance desk can arrange visits to the nearby casinos, shopping malls, and cinemas, or sight-seeing tours around Johannesburg.

All meals are served buffet style in the main dining room, and the breakfast buffet is especially good.

  The Damaraland Camp:
 

This Camp in central Damaraland is on the northern slopes of the Huab River valley.  The camp consists of eight large East-African style tents with quality furnishings, which flank a central lapa (canvas-topped, hard-sided permanent dining tent) with the bar and dining room.  Every guest tent has full en suite facilities and an amazing view of the dry river valley and the mountains beyond.  A feature of the camp is the unique rock pool.  Activities revolve around nature drives and walks into the Huab River system. The star-gazing is "par excellence" because of the crystal-clear night skies. There are no fences in the area which gives one a complete feeling of freedom.
 

Epupa Falls Camp:

Accommodations at Epupa Falls are offered in 9 luxury East-African style permanently fixed tents with private baths.  These are the best available accommodations within more than 100 miles of Epupa Falls.  Relax next to the beautiful Kunene River after a day of exploring and listen to the roar of the Falls.  Dinner and breakfast will be provided by the Camp, and our guides will serve a light lunch during your drives to the Himba encampments and Kavita Lion Lodge. 

Kavita Lion Lodge:

Kavita Lion Lodge is located on a large private game ranch just to the south of Etosha Park's western entrance.  Enjoy the hospitality and warmth of your hosts, Tammy and Uwe Hoth, and let them show you the wildlife and scenery at Kavita.  The accommodations consist of very attractive thatched-roof chalets overlooking a waterhole.  Enjoy the swimming pool, guided nature hikes, and game drives on the expansive ranch.  Kavita is also the home of the Afri-Leo Foundation and a sanctuary for lions unable to survive in the wild.

The excellent cuisine at Kavita Lion Lodge is European style, using fresh, local ingredients.  The Lodge serves delicious pastries and teas every afternoon.
