Ultimate Safaris a finalist once again

Having already walked away with the 2023
PURE Award for Creativity for their Onduli Ridge luxury camp, Ultimate Safaris
has once again made the finals of the PURE Awards, this time in the
conservation category with their 'Protecting the Living Landscapes of the Doros
Joint Management Area in Namibia' project.
The PURE Awards, which have been hosted
since 2014, aim to find the leaders in experiential travel, culminating each
year at the PURE Life Experiences travel show in Marrakech, Morocco, where
tourism leaders and innovators meet to network, learn, and find new ways of working
that benefits their guests, but also the communities and environment in which
they operate.
Long the subject of a land ownership
dispute, Ultimate Safaris’ Conservation Travel Foundation, as well as NGOs such as
the Namibia Nature Foundation and Save The Rhino Trust,
worked with the Doro Nawas, Sorris Sorris, and Uibasen Twyfelfontein Conservancies,
to create the new, 28,000
hectare, Doros Joint Management Area, which will become the single largest
registered communal land leasehold in Namibia once registered.
The introduction and development of
Communal Conservancies in Namibia is one of the most successful recent
conservation ideas, with the financial and technical support provided to local
communities by tourism ventures in their area, helping them to develop
strategies to enhance the protection of the area and its inhabitants. The Doros
Joint Management area adds to Namibia’s existing conservation success story as
it is the first time in the country’s history that three conservancies
have joined forces to register a large tract of land for conservation.
Communities bordering this area live
alongside free-roaming wildlife, including black rhino, and have come to see
that the benefits of them doing so due to tourism, far outweigh the potential
risks. The establishment of the Doros Joint Management Area will go a long way
to increasing these benefits.
